UNDATED (AP) — Cubs fans are hoping to go wild as the World Series champions try to close out Washington in Game 4 of the NLDS.
Rain is in the forecast and Jake Arrieta is set to start for Chicago — he hasn’t pitched since lasting just three innings Sept. 26 after tweaking his hamstring three weeks earlier.
Tanner Roark starts for the Nationals with his team trailing 2-1.
He’s from Wilmington, Illinois, about 60 miles south of Chicago, and grew up rooting for the Cubs. He is 3-1 with a 3.24 ERA in five career games at Wrigley Field.
