Rangers @ Cubs: Hamels vs Lackey (Game 91)
Welcome back, Cubs.TEX (54-38): LHP Cole Hamels (9-2, 3.21)
CHC (55-35): RHP John Lackey (7-5, 3.70)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Lackey, who hasn’t won since June 8, had a no-decision in Pittsburgh last Sunday (6 IP, 5 ER, 9 K, 2 BB). The Rangers are 52-194 (.268) against him. Fielder is 5-15.
Hamels had a no-decision against the Twins his last time out (4.1 IP, 5 ER, 4 K, 6 BB). He’s 6-1 with a 2.09 so far this year on the road. He pitched at Wrigley last July, but I have no recollection of what happened on that day or the bottle of whiskey that disappeared from my liquor cabinet afterward. Overall, the Cubs are 23-130 (.177) against him. Coghlan is 9-29 with 2 HR.
Matz (7-5, 3.38) and those pesky Mets are in for three starting tomorrow at 6:05pmCST, when Lester (9-4, 3.01) gets a chance at redemption.
Go Cubs!
