CHICAGO -- At first glance, it will be ace vs. ace on Saturday as the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants send their best to the mound.But Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta (16-5, 2.84 ERA) and Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner (13-8, 2.49 ERA) have had some struggles of late.Arrieta, the reigning Cy Young Award winner, was knocked around in last Tuesdays start, allowing a season-high tying six runs in 6 1/3 innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates.The Cubs eventually pulled out an 8-7 win in 13 innings but Arrieta had no decision.The only thing thats been amiss is command issues on occasion, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said recently. Otherwise, his stuff is the same. His numbers are fabulous.Arrieta might not quite be matching the stunning pace set last year when he went 11-0 in his final 13 regular season starts.But even a slightly less effective Arrieta remains tough to beat. His 16 victories and opponents batting average (.185) both lead the National League. His ERA is sixth and 161 strikeouts are eighth.Bumgarner has a 6.35 ERA in his last three starts, while opponents are hitting .303 in that span.Youre going to have days, a couple of starts, when youre not going to be quite as sharp, but you find a way to win, Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters this week. Thats what he did. Hes healthy. Hes fine.Bumgarner will come in rested for his NL-leading 29th start of the season. He collected his 13th win of the year in a seven-inning outing against Atlanta last Sunday and gave up three runs on five hits over seven innings in a 13-4 Giants win.Bumgarner is second in the league in ERA (2.49) behind Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (2.09), is tops in games started (28), complete games (four) and third in strikeouts (207). His .212 opponents batting average is fourth in the league.Bumgarner is 7-2 with a 2.19 ERA in 11 career starts against the Cubs. Hes 4-0 in his last five starts against Chicago.Arrieta is 4-1 with a 1.60 ERA in five career starts -- four at AT&T Park -- against the Giants. His only previous start against San Francisco at Wrigley Field came on Aug. 9, 2015, when he allowed four hits in 7 2/3 scoreless innings in a 2-0 Cubs win.He earned a win at AT&T Park on May 20, allowing one run on four hits in seven innings of an 8-1 Chicago win.The Giants will send Johnny Cueto (14-5, 2.98 ERA) against a Cubs starter to be determined in Sundays series finale. The Cubs starter could well be right-hander John Lackey (9-7, 3.41 ERA), coming off the disabled list (right shoulder strain) after missing the last 18 games. Jim Kelly Jersey .
