Brewers @ Cubs: Davies vs. Hendricks (Game 152)

The Cubs magic number is 3… and Jake goes to 20.

MIL (63-88): RHP Zach Davies (1-2, 6.00)
CHC (89-62): RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-6, 4.22)
First pitch: 7:05pmCT

Hendricks had a short outing in Pittsburgh (3 IP, 4 ER, 3 HR) on Thursday and was fortunate to come away with a no-decision, in a game the Cubs would go on to win 9-6. He’s 2-2 with a 3.56 at Wrigley this year. In his two starts against the Brewers, he’s 1-0 with a 0.73. Overall, they are 16-69 (.232) against him. Gennett is 3-12.

This is Davies’ fifth start since joining the big club in September. The 22y/o rookie was acquired by Milwaukee in the trade with the Orioles for Gerardo Parra in July. Davies lost to Cinci his last time out (6 IP, 3 ER). It’s not a huge sample size, but he’s working on some serious reverse splits: righties are hitting 14-45 (.311), while lefties are 5-35 (.143). None of the Cubs have faced him.

Go Cubs!

best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).

Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years.

JAXON WIGGINS:
ONE INNING:
25 pitches (11 strikes)
no batted balls in play
two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz)
three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
six swing & miss
two fouls
three called strikes
14 called balls
one WP

ETHAN ROBERTS:
ONE INNING
15 pitches (7 strikes)
two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel)
two walks (Lubo and Carico)
no strikeouts
no swing & miss
two fouls
three called strikes
eight called balls
one WP

Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts.

MAT PETERS:
TWO INNINGS
44 pitches (23 strikes)
five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3)
three walks
two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
