Henricks didn’t have his best stuff on Monday against the Rockies (5 IP, 4 ER) but left with a lead. The Cubs went on to win 9-8. That makes six times this season he has left with a lead but received a no-decision. Hendricks pitched in Milwaukee on May 10, keeping them off the board for 5.1 in a game the Cubs would lose 3-2. He’s 3-3 with a 4.31 on the road this year. In 3 career starts against the Brewers, he’s 2-0 with a 0.98. The Brewers are 12-48 (.250) against him. Khris Davis is 3-7.
Garza has had a dreadful season. He lost in AZ (5.2 IP, 3 ER) his last time out. July (1-1, 3.57) has been his best month so far. He’s pitched better at home (2-6 with a 4.14). Garza is 1-2 with a 4.50 against the Cubs. The Cubs are 25-81 (.309) against him. Coghlan is 5-12.
Richard goes tomorrow vs. Lohse. Looking ahead to the big series with the Pirates, we’ll likely see Lester vs. Liriano, Arrieta vs. Happ (who was just acquired to fill in for the DL'd Burnett), and probably Haren vs. Locke. Missing Cole: sweet. And unless something changes, we’re not going to see Bumgarner, who’s on track to pitch in Atlanta the day before the Giants hit Wrigley.
Go Cubs!
