Wojciechowski lost to the Cubs at Wrigley on the 14th (3.2 IP, 7 ER, 5 K, 0 BB). In between, he pitched two innings in relief against in Atlanta, giving up 2 ER. He’s 3-1 with a 3.41 at home this season. The Cubs are 11-21 (.524) against him. Jay is 3-3, and Rizzo is 2-3 with a HR.
Bryant has a contusion on his left wrist after getting hit last night. He's unlikely to play today and will be day-to-day. There's no word on if Maddon is going to let Rizzo start over LaStella at 3B. Anything is possible.
Arrieta (13-8) and Romano (3-5) end the series tomorrow at the same time.
Go Cubs!
