Brewers @ Cubs: Jungmann vs Arrieta (Game 21)
For his next trick, watch Jake pull a rabbit out of his hat.
MIL (8-12): RHP Taylor Jungmann (0-3, 8.47)
CHC (15-5): RHP Jake Arrieta (4-0, 0.87)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Arrieta only pitched a no-hitter on Thursday in Cincinnati—his second. He didn’t have his best stuff, he said afterward, which meant he walked four. The Brewers are 25-89 (.281) against him, which is obviously not going to continue. Hill is 7-17 with a HR, and Braun and his dealer are 4-10 with a HR.
Jungmann lost to the lowly Twins his last time out (3 ER, 4 IP, 2 Ks, 6 BBs). He was 4-6 with a 5.02 on the road last year. The Cubs are 11-30 (.367) against him. Russell is 3-4, and Soler is 3-5.
Blair (0-1, 5:06) and the Braves vs Lester (2-1, 1.98) open the weekend set tomorrow at 1:20pmCST.
Go, Cubs!
