Hendricks gave up 2 ER in 6 innings and took the loss against the lowly Brewers on Sunday, which probably ended his outside shot at the Cy Young. He’s 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA against the Pirates this year. Overall, they are 24-98 (.245) against him. Polanco is 7-17 with a HR.
The rookie Kuhl (if that is his real name) has been consistently mid-rotation all season. He went 6 innings and gave up 1 ER to win in Milwaukee his last time out. He’s 0-1 with an 8.59 in his two starts against the Cubs this season. They are 11-29 (.379) against him. Rizzo is 2-5 with a HR.
The Cubs are 12-3 against the Pirates so far this season. That’ll do.
Lackey (10-8, 3.39) versus Vogelsong (3-6, 4.85) tomorrow at 6:05pmCST.
Go Cubs!
