The Chicago Cubs (12-9) will open a three-game series with the San Diego Padres (12-12) Tuesday night at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.

The Cubs have impressed early in the season. The club got off to an 11-6 start, after winning just 74 games a season ago. The Los Angeles Dodgers seemed to cool off the Cubs over the weekend however, taking three of four games at Wrigley Field. Now, the Cubs will be tested by another formidable opponent from the National League West, as the Padres come to town Tuesday.

San Diego is off to a slow start of its own to begin the season, entering play Tuesday at 12-12, right at .500. The club just received help in the form of Fernando Tatis Jr., whose 80-game suspension for his use of performance-enhancing drugs reached its end last week.

Blake Snell (0-3, 6.00 ERA) will take the mound Tuesday for the Padres, trying for his first win of the season. Justin Steele (3-0, 1.44 ERA) will start for the Cubs.
