Game Thread: Cubs vs Rangers: Stand Tall, Chicago!
The South Siders will take on the Rangers for a rare night game
Sean Burke will get the start against the Lone Star State. The White Sox will face an evenly-matched Rangers team this evening. Sean Burke will be on the mound tonight.
Burke has been roughed up during Spring Training, owning an ERA of 6. 75, giving up nine hits, six earned runs, two walks and six strikeouts over eight innings pitched. We will also see Korey Lee, who will need to prove he can fill in at catcher while Kyle Teel is out for a few more weeks.
