On Sunday, the New York Yankees will finish their series with the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
They are coming off a 5-2 loss on Saturday.
That said, the two teams are still tied up at 1-1, so whoever wins on Sunday will take the series.
UPDATE: The Yankees won 2-1.

Looking At The Yankees Right Now
The Yankees are one of the most intriguing teams ahead of Monday’s trade deadline.
They are among the best teams in baseball, but are dealing with injuries to players such as Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton and Carlos Rodón.
It’s fair to assume they are not a contender without Judge and Bellinger in the lineup.
Last season, the Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.
The Yankees came into Sunday as the second-place team in the American League East with a 62-49 record in 111 games.
They have gone 6-4 over their last ten games (and are 36-26 in 62 games on the road).
After their game on Sunday, the Yankees will head home for a series with Jordan Walker and the St. Louis Cardinals that starts on Monday night in the Bronx.
