Cubs @ Reds: Hammel vs Simon (Game 19)
Hammel looks to secure the series after an ugly effort.
CHC (13-5): RHP Jason Hammel (2-0, 1.00)
CIN (9-9): RHP Alfredo Simon (0-1, 12.15)
First pitch: 12:10pmCST
Hammel won against the Cards on Tuesday (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 Ks, 0 BBs). He already beat the Reds (6 IP, 0 ER) in the 8-1 game on the 14th. The Reds are 23-96 (.240) off of him for their careers. Suarez is 4-11.
The Cubs knocked Simon out of the game on April 13 after getting only two outs but giving up 5 ER. He pitched an inning two days later in relief on his throw-day but proceeded to give up 3 ER to St. Louis. Not good, Alfredo! The Cubs are 18-63 (.286) against him. Rizzo is 5-15 with 2 HR.
An off day tomorrow, then the Brewers and Braves are teed up for us at home.
Go, Cubs!
