Rockies @ Cubs: Bergman vs Arrieta (Game 11)

The Cubs look to get back on track after a listless afternoon effort.
COL (6-4): RHP Christian Bergman (0-1, 12.00)
CHC (8-2): RHP Jake Arrieta (2-0, 1.93)
First pitch: 1:20pmCT

Arrieta beat AZ on Sunday, inexplicably giving up 3 ER in 7 innings. He was 9-5 with a 1.97 at Wrigley last year. The Rockies are 11-54 (.208) against him. Arenado and Gonzalez (with a HR) are both 2-6.

Bergman, who has been pitching out of the bullpen as he did for nearly all of last year, will be making his first start of the year in place of the injured Jon Gray, who was placed on the DL at the end of Spring Training with fifty shades of an abdominal injury. Bergman pitched a clean inning against the Padres his last time out, after getting bit by the D’Backs (4 ER, 1 IP) in his season debut. The Cubs are 2-7 off of him, with both hits belonging to Heyward.

Chatwood (1-1, 4.38) vs. Lester (1-0, 2.77) at 1:20pmCST will close out the set tomorrow before the Cubs head to St. Louis and Cincinnati. 

Go, Cubs!

Fowler CF Bryant 3B Rizzo 1B Soler RF Baez 2B Russell SS Szczur LF Ross C Arrieta P Day off for Heyward, Montero and Zobrist. Nice bench though.

per Carrie Muskat, minors injury report:
Injury update: Iowa pitchers Pierce Johnson and Stephen Fife were both placed on the disabled list, and Stephen Perakslis was promoted to Iowa from Tennessee. Fife was injured during his second start of the season against New Orleans on April 13. He was removed mid-at bat after pitching 4 1/3 innings of two-hit ball and has been diagnosed with a left side strain. Johnson was hit by a comebacker in the third inning on April 11. He faced two more batters to finish the inning. He’s sidelined with a forearm bruise on his pitching arm.

    Well, game 29 on the year was a hell of a game. That felt like a throwback, too. I had a feeling Morel had a shot at catching up to that fastball.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts/details on Carico and/or JP Wheat?

    MIL loses!

    cubs finally get to sole control of 1st place in the central.

  • crunch (view)

    MIL out here stealing 3rd with 1 out and down by 1 in the bottom 9th.

    it worked.  this MIL team is annoyingly fun to watch so far this year...

  • crunch (view)

    it took him 24 pitches, 2 walks, 2 Ks...but he got it done.  woo.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Full pack!

  • crunch (view)

    neris still doesn't have his command/control...

    i don't expect it to dog him all season, much like i don't expect alzolay to be a HR machine.

    i'll take alzolay over neris to close out a game, though...over leiter, too.

  • crunch (view)

    MOREL HR!  his first homer in like, 3 years or something...or feels like it.

    top of the 9th, 2 run shot off f'n diaz to break the tie.

  • crunch (view)

    swanson breaks it up in the 8th with a single.

  • crunch (view)

    1h and 6 minutes to get through 6 innings.

    also, the cubs are getting no-hit.  neat.
