Day two vs. the Jays. Tune in live on @WatchMarquee. https://t.co/TNvF2ie1tp

What happened: The Chicago Cubs return to Wrigley Field to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the second meeting of their interleague set, with the Saturday game scheduled to air live on Marquee Sports Network. First pitch follows Friday's series opener between the two clubs.

Why it matters: The matchup carries standings weight for both sides as the Cubs, who entered the day above .500, look to build on recent form while the Blue Jays try to climb back over the break-even mark. A strong showing here would help Chicago bank ground in a tightly bunched stretch of its schedule.

By the numbers: Chicago enters at 40-36 (4.7 runs scored, 4.4 allowed) on a two-game win streak, while Toronto sits at 37-39 (4.1 scored, 4.4 allowed). In Friday's opener, the Cubs beat the Blue Jays 16-2. Chicago is listed with the total set at 9.5.

What to watch: Watch the lineups and starting pitchers, and whether Toronto's offense rebounds after a lopsided opener.
