Blue Jays @ Cubs: Estrada vs Hendricks (Game 123)
TOR (59-64): RHP Marco Estrada (5-8, 5.09)
CHC (65-57): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-4, 3.45)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Hendricks pitched well (6 IP, 0 ER, 6 K, 4 BB) but ended up with a no-decision on Tuesday against the Reds. He last won a game on May 24 (against the Giants). Toronto is 3-16 (.188) against him. Pillar and Pearce are both 1-2, and Aoki is 1-5 with a HR.
Estrada gave up 6 ER in 4.1 innings for a loss against the Rays his last time out. He’s 2-5 with a 5.33 on the road this season. The Cubs are 10-73 (.137) against him, for their careers. Jay is 6-23. Rizzo is 2-24—yikes.
Have your (figurative) brooms at the ready, as the Cubs go for the sweep.
Tomorrow we’re off, then it’s the Lackey (10-9) and Bailey (4-6) rematch on Tuesday at 6:10pmCST in Cincinnati.
Go Cubs!
