Morgan gave up 6 ER in 6.1 innings and lost in Boston his last time out. None of the Cubs have faced him.
And for the second game:
CHC (80-58): RHP Kyle Hendricks (6-6, 4.08)
PHI (54-86): RHP Alec Asher (0-2, 10.61)
Hendricks had a no-decision (5 IP, 1 ER) against AZ on Sunday. He’s 4-4 with a 4.56 on the road this year. None of the Phillies have faced him.
Asher came to the Phills from the Rangers in the Hamels deal in July. He took a beating in Boston (3.2 IP, 7 ER) his last time out and lost to the Padres (5.2 IP, 4 ER) in his debut. This is his third career appearance. None of the Cubs have faced him.
Go Cubs!
