Cubs @ Rockies: Hendricks vs Anderson (Game 121)
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high.CHC (77-43): RHP Kyle Hendricks (11-7, 2.19)
COL (58-63): LHP Tyler Anderson (4-4, 3.42)
First pitch: 7:40pmCST
Hendricks pitched well enough to win but came away with a no-decision against the Cardinals on Saturday (7 IP, 2 ER, 12 K, 0 BB). He’s 2-0 with a 1.16 so far in August. In his two starts at Coors, Hendricks has given up 6 ER in 12.1, but the Cubs ended up winning both games. The Rockies are 24-69 (.348) against him. Gonzalez is 4-11 with a HR.
The rookie Anderson should be well rested. He’s had an extra day between starts, and his last one was abbreviated after he was ejected in a game in Philly for hitting Maikel Franco (3 IP, 4 ER, 2 K, 2 BB). None of the Cubs have faced him.
Montgomery (4-5, 2.43) backed up by Cahill, who pitched 5 scoreless against the Brewers for the win on Tuesday, versus that old stand-by TBD tomorrow at 7:10pmCST.
Go Cubs!
