Beeler--aka, our 26th man--started the second game of a double dip on the 22nd (2 IP, 3 ER). In one of Joe’s better moves, he was pulled for a pinch-hitting Bryant in the third inning. The Cubs scored 5 that inning and went on to win 6-5. None of the Rockies have faced him.
Flande started the year in the minors (AA and AAA). This is his eighth appearance this year but the first start. Against the Cubs last year, he went 0-2 with a 3.83 ERA. The Cubs are 6-30 (.200) against him. Castro has a HR.
Other notes: Wada pitched 6 innings on Monday (2 unearned runs, 4 H, 6 Ks, 1 BB). Tulo (and LaTroy Hawkins, who was clearly the key to the deal) was traded yesterday to Toronto for Reyes. Butler vs. Lester to close out the set tomorrow.
Go Cubs!
