Cubs @ Brewers: Lackey vs Nelson (Game 38)
I hope someone remembered to bring the bats on the road trip.
CHC (27-10): RHP John Lackey (4-2, 3.54)
MIL (17-22): RHP Jimmy Nelson (4-3, 3.51)
First pitch: 7:10pmCT
Lackey pitched great on Wednesday (8 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 0 BB) but was beaten by the Cubs offense, which was shutout. He was 1-0 with a 2.08 in two starts at Miller Park last year, and the Brewers batted .211 against him in those games. For their careers, these Brewers are 26-105 (.248) against. Lucroy is 4-15 with a HR.
Nelson lost to the Padres (8 IP, 2 ER, 5 K, 1 BB) his last time out. He’s 3-2 with a 3.09 so far this year at Miller Park. The Cubs are 24-96 (.250) against him. Baez is 3-6, and Soler is 5-16 with a HR.
Hammel (5-0, 1.77) versus Guerra (2-0, 4.00) to close out the series tomorrow at 12:40pmCST.
Go, Cubs!
