Cubs @ Reds: Arrieta vs Finnegan (Game 16)
After taking all three from the Reds at Wrigley last week, the Cubs attempt to do it on the road.
CHC (11-4): RHP Jake Arrieta (3-0, 1.23)
CIN (8-7): LHP Brandon Finnegan (1-0, 2.04)
First pitch: 6:10pmCST
Arrieta pitched 8-scoreless innings against the Rockies on Saturday for his third win of the young season, walking one and striking out eight. He was an astounding 13-1 with a 1.60 on the road last year, even better than his Wrigley numbers. The Reds are 16-60 (.267) against him. Phillips is 4-11, and Cozart is 4-12.
The Cubs faced Finnegan at Wrigley on April 11. He gave up 2 ER in 6.2 and ended up with a no-decision, in a game the Cubs would go on to win 5-3, thanks to Russell’s 8th-inning 3-run homer. The Cubs are 1-21 (.045) against Finnegan, with Ross being responsible for the sole hit.
Lester (1-1, 2.21) vs. Moscot (0-0, 4.76) tomorrow at 6:10pmCST.
Go, Cubs!
