Royals @ Cubs: Ventura vs. Hendricks (Game 156)
The Royals are in for a quickie.
KC (90-65): RHP Yordano Ventura (12-8, 4.40)
CHC (90-65): RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-7, 4.23)
First pitch: 7:05pmCT
Hendricks took the loss (6 IP, 3 ER) against the Brewers on Wednesday. He’s 1-1 with a 4.79 in September, to continue his disappointing season. He’d be a perfectly serviceable 4th-5th starter, if we didn’t already have 4-5 other ones just like him. Only Gomes (0-1) has faced him.
Ventura had a no-decision against Seattle (6 IP, 3 ER) his last time out. He had a no-decision (7 IP, 1 ER) against the Cubs when the Royals were in town for their series in a game the Cubs won 2-1. The Cubs are 10-36 (.278) against him. Coghlan is 3-3. Ross is 1-2 with a HR.
This is a make-up game from the rainout on May 30th. It’s the last time we’ll see an AL team this year. Or is it..?
Go Cubs!
