Cubs @ Dodgers: Hammel vs Urias (Game 128)
The Cubs clinch a winning roadtrip and a winning season, and Bryant might have just clinched his first MVP crown.CHC (82-45): RHP Jason Hammel (13-6, 3.07)
LAD (72-57): LHP Julio Urias (4-2, 3.95)
First pitch: 3:05pmCST
Hammel was sliced, deep-fried, and salted in Colorado on Sunday (3.1 IP, 6 ER, 2 K, 2 BB), and four Cub errors lead to another 4 runs. Hammel pitched two innings against the Dodgers in May but left due to cramping in his right hamstring. The Cubs went on to win 2-0, and Hammel didn’t miss any time. The Dodgers are 32-123 (.260) against him. Kendrick is 7-16.
Urias has won his last three starts, including his last one, 6 shutout innings in Cincinnati, where he struck out 6 and walked none. He’s 3-0 with a 2.16 in his four starts this month. At Dodger Stadium, he’s 2-0 with a 3.24. He gave up 5 ER in as many innings in a start at Wrigley in June. The Cubs are 8-20 (.400) against him. Baez is 2-2 with a HR. (Love that kid.)
Lester versus whomever the Dodgers acquire between now and then tomorrow at 3:10pmCST to end the roadtrip.
Go Cubs!
