STL (82-75): RHP Michael Wacha (12-8, 4.00)
First pitch: 6:00pmCST
Oh, good—another game on ESPN.*
Lackey gave up 3 ER in 4 innings in Milwaukee on Friday and managed to avoid looking like a lunatic. In three starts against the Cards this season, he’s 1-0 with a 3.57. Overall, they are 27-122 (.221). Diaz is 6-15, and Pham is 1-1 (a HR).
Wacha had a no-decision his last time out (5 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB). He’s 0-2 with a 7.88 in three 2017 starts against the Cubs. Nice. Rizzo is 17-36 with 3 HR (.472)—and should bat as often as he likes.
Hendricks (7-5) and Lynn (11-8) close out the season series tomorrow at 6:00pmCST.
Go Cubs!
