Phillies @ Cubs: Morgan vs Lester (Game 46)
Bringing it all back home…PHI (26-21): LHP Adam Morgan (1-2, 5-61)
CHC (31-14): LHP Jon Lester (4-3, 2.60)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Lester had his shortest and shittiest game of the season on Saturday, losing in San Francisco (2.2 IP, 5 ER, 1 K, 3 BB). It was his worst game since he went 2.2 innings and gave up 7 ER in Detroit last August. The Phillies are 14-63 (.222) against him. Galvis is 3-8 with a HR.
Morgan is not having a pretty season. He didn’t pitch that poorly but lost to Atlanta (6 IP, 2 ER, 1 K, 2 BB) his last time out. The Braves are also responsible for his only win of the season. He was 2-5 with a 4.57 on the road last year. He lost to the Cubs in September in Philly (4 IP, 5 ER, 5 K, 1 BB). The Cubs are 7-18 (.389) against him. Baez, Fowler, and Heyward are all 2-3.
Eickoff (2-6, 3.86) versus Hendricks (2-4, 3.30) tomorrow at 1:20pmCST.
Go, Cubs!
