The Arizona Diamondbacks play the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday in Game 3 of their series. The game starts at 2:20 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
Chicago (7-12) can clinch the series with another win. They lead 2-0 in the four-game series after their 9-2 win in Game 2. First baseman Mike Olt hit a three-run homer and outfielder Nate Schierholtz drove in two RBIs in Chicago's dominant offensive performance.
Cubs starting pitcher Jason Hammel also played a big part in the win, giving up only one run on four hits through his seven innings pitched. The performance improved Hammel to 3-1 with a 2.60 ERA.
Hammel also believes the Cubs are a much better team than their record indicates.
"Without a doubt," Hammel told the Associated Press. "We've played a lot of close ballgames where we could have come out on the other end. We're a young team and we'll figure out how to win those ball games pretty soon."
Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija (0-2, 1.29 ERA) is tasked on Wednesday with following Hammel's performance. While Samardzija has posted a low ERA, he hasn't been helped by much run support - he's received only four runs of support through the 2014 season, according to the Associated Press.
"You go out and pitch and do your job," Samardzija said. "You control what you can control."
Opposing Samardzija will be Diamondbacks pitcher Wade Miley. The left-hander is 2-2 with a 5.82 ERA and is coming off Friday's win against the Dodgers, whom he allowed just one earned run while striking out eight batters.
Wednesday also marks the celebration of Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary.
