Giants @ Cubs: Blach vs Lackey (Game 43)
SF (19-26): LHP Ty Blach (1-2, 4.15)
CHC (22-20): RHP John Lackey (4-3, 4.37)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST
Lackey pitched pretty Lackey-like in his last outing giving up 3 ER in 5.1 and beating the Reds. Overall, the Giants are 18-90 (.200) against him. Nunez is 5-15.
Blach opened the season in the bullpen and has made five starts. His last outing was 7 innings of one-run ball and a win against the Dodgers. He only appeared in a handful of games last season, and none of the Cubs have faced him.
Let's not forget the last time we saw the Giants: we were getting Medieval on their asses with a vicious ninth-inning rally that eliminated them from the NLDS. And there was more to come...
Hendricks (3-2) faces Cueto (4-3) tomorrow at 6:00pmCST (for ESPN).
Go Cubs!
