A look at what’s happening all around the major leagues today:

GIANT TEST
The streaking Chicago Cubs face Giants ace Madison Bumgarner (15-6) in San Francisco. Bumgarner has two complete games and a 1.42 ERA during his four-start winning streak, with 41 strikeouts and two walks in that span. He is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in his last four starts against the Cubs. The 25-year-old lefty also has been among the Giants’ most dangerous hitters lately, going 4 for 12 with two homers in his last five games – including two pinch-hit appearances. The Cubs can add more space between themselves and the Giants, their closest competitors for the second NL wild card.
