Cubs @ Red Sox: Hendricks vs Rodriguez (Game 24)
CHC (13-10): RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-1, 4.50)
BOS (12-11): LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (1-1, 3.16)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST
Hendricks easily had the best outing of his season on Tuesday in Pittsburgh, shutting out the Pirates for 6 innings, in a battle against Gerrit Cole the Cubs would go on to win 1-0. Maybe we should always match him up against the aces.
Kyle has pitched better on the road so far and is 2-0 with a 3.00 in those two starts. Only two Red Sox have faced him: Ramirez is 1-3 and Josh Rutledge is 0-4.
Rodriguez won in Baltimore last Sunday (6 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 5 BB). He went 3-7 with a 4.71 in his 20 starts last year for the Sox. Only Zobrist (0-3) has faced him.
Anderson will match up against Velasquez and the Phillies tomorrow at 7:05pmCST at the Friendly Confines.
Go Cubs!
