Cubs @ Nationals: Hendricks versus Scherzer (Game 62)
Another day, another 13 runs.
CHC (43-18): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-5, 2.90)
WAS (39-24): RHP Max Scherzer (7-4, 3.57)
First pitch: 6:05pmCST
Hendricks reverted to a 5-inning pitcher on Tuesday, giving up 2 runs and losing to the Phillies. He beat the Nationals at Wrigley in May (6 IP, 0 ER, 4 K, 2 BB). They are 6-49 (.122) against him. Harper is 2-7 with a HR.
Scherzer beat the White Sox his last time out (7 IP, 0 ER, 6 K, 1 BB). He had his worst game of the season at Wrigley in May (5 IP, 7 ER, 7 K, 3 BB), but don’t expect a line like that again. The Cubs are 23-100 (.230) against him. Heyward is 4-8, and Zobrist and his Shake Weight are 5-22 with 3 HR.
Lackey (7-2, 2.63) versus Gonzalez (3-5, 3.93) at 6:05pmCST tomorrow.
Go Cubs!
