The Chicago Cubs will start their Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres with Matthew Boyd on the hill.
The team hasn’t set its roster for the best-of-three series at Petco Park, but manager Craig Counsell confirmed on Monday that Boyd will get the ball when the series gets underway.
Boyd also started Game 1 of last year’s series between the teams, pitching 4.1 innings and giving up one earned run and scattering four hits in a no-decision.
Boyd was limited to 22 starts for the Cubs this season, with a 10-5 record and a 3.91 ERA in those games. He struck out 114 batters in 126.2 innings, and posted a WHIP of 1.21 on the season.
The Cubs are hoping they can win a second consecutive Wild Card Series over the Padres, having defeated San Diego in three games last year at Wrigley Field.
This time around the Padres have home-field advantage, though the potential opponent in the Division Series is the same as the Milwaukee Brewers await the winner between the clubs.
First pitch on Tuesday night is set for 9 p.m. Central time, with the game airing on Peacock and NBCSN.
