Lucas Luetge, Miguel Castro, Wandy Peralta, Michael King and Clay Holmes combined for 6.2 scoreless innings of relief. Holmes pitched the ninth and lowered his ERA to 0.33.

Rookie Christopher Morel provided the Cubs’ highlight in Tuesday’s loss by leading off the game with a home run. Morel also had an RBI triple as he continued his franchise-record streak of reaching base to start a career to 21 games.

Cubs pitching gave up five home runs.

Rookie right fielder Seiya Suzuki (sprained left ring finger) could be activated from the injured list for Friday night’s game. He has been out since May 27.

Seiya Suzuki in right and Christopher Morel in center is going to be great.

We need Seiya back asap.

Both of these guys are so fun. https://t.co/1SX10mllUg

Cubs vs Yankees Prediction

Miley has pitched well in his first season with the Cubs but has made just three starts because of injuries. The lefty figures to be a little rusty coming off the IL without a rehab assignment while Severino is coming off a lights-out start. That makes the Yankees the pick, even at a high number.

Pick: Yankees ML (-250)
