Welcome to the halfway point of the season. There’s no turning back.
Arrieta has been stellar in his last three starts, including his (8 IP, 1 ER) win against the Mets on Thursday. He is 1-1 (19.1 IP, 5 ER, 3.82 ERA) in his 3 starts against the Cards this year. As a team they are batting .199 against him. Matt Carpenter is 0-16 (and sitting).
Lyons beat the Phills (5 IP, 3 ER) on the road his last time out. Against the Cubs in May, he gave up 3 ER in 4.1 but couldn’t get the win in the game the Cards would go on to win 7-4. The Cubs are 12-39 (.308) against him. Rizzo is 3-7.
This is a make-up from the 4/7 postponement. Now if we can only have a make-up from last night.
Go Cubs!
