Cubs @ Cardinals: Hammel vs Garcia (Game 14)
The Cardinals meet the new bosses of the NL Central.
CHC (10-3): RHP Jason Hammel (1-0, 6.75)
STL (7-6): LHP Jaime Garcia (1-0, 2.40)
First pitch: 7:15pmCT
Hammel kept the Reds off the board for 6 innings and came away with a win on Thursday. These Cardinals are 35-113 (.310) against him. Molina is 6-13, and Grichuk is 2-6 with a HR. Hammel was 5-4 with a 2.86 in his 17 pre-All Star starts last year, so maybe we should put a calendar on the mound for him to consult.
Garcia had a complete-game shut out at home against the Bad News Brewers last week. He was 5-2 with a 1.70 in his 10 starts at Busch last year. The Cubs are 4-26 (.154) against him. Montero is 2-2 with a HR.
Hendricks (1-1, 2.84) vs. Martinez (2-0, 3.46) to close out the set tomorrow at 12:45pmCST before we head to Cinci.
Go, Cubs!
