Arrieta threw 122 pitches and had what we like to call a complete game shutout on Sunday against the Twins. This matchup is a redo of the May 7 game in St. Louis, when Arrieta gave up 5 runs (4 earned) in 5.1 and took the loss. The Cards are 28-133 (.211) against him. Heyward is 5-12, Peralta is 6-22, Carpenter is 0-13.
Lackey cruised against the light-hitting Phills on Saturday and went 7 innings of one-run ball in the 10-1 win. In his May win against the Cubs, he went 7.2, gave up 1 ER, and struck out 10. Only Coghlan (7-12) has double digit ABs against him. Montero is 3-9.
Castro’s wife had a baby girl yesterday, and he’s back in. Congrats! Fowler and his ankle, too. Tomorrow we get Donn Roach (7-1, 2.21 for Iowa) in place of Wada.
Go Cubs!
