Cubs @ Diamondbacks: Hendricks vs Greinke (Game 5)
The Cubs lose their first one late.
CHC (3-1): RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-0, ---)
AZ (2-3): RHP Zack Greinke (0-1, 15.75)
First pitch: 7:10pmCT
After 13 starts in a promising 2014, Hendricks was inconsistent and a bit disappointing last year, going 8-7 with a 3.95 ERA. He was 6-4 with a 4.47 on the road. The D’Backs are 6-27 against him.
Greinke got shellacked in his new home park by a flu and the Rockies on Monday, giving up 3 HR and 7 ER in 4 innings. This is probably not a good time to catch him. The Cubs are 25-100 against him. Montero is 8-26 with 2 HR.
Schwarber’s surgery is set to take place in a few weeks, after the swelling goes down. There’s a pretty good chance his catching days are over. The Kawasaki Show takes his place on the roster.
Arrieta vs. Miller tomorrow.
Go, Cubs!
