Richard might be looking at his last start for a while, regardless of how he pitches. No pressure, there. He gave up 4 ER in 3 innings against the Cards after Hammel went down. It wasn’t pretty, but it was appreciated. It would have been borderline heroic, were it not also the Strop game--about which we will speak no more. The Reds are 7-29 against Richard.
Lorenzen gave up 2 ER in 6 innings in Miami for his second straight loss in his last outing. The Cubs are 5-16 against him. Fowler has a HR.
And of course Jackson got DFA’d yesterday to make room for Soriano.
Go Cubs!
