White Sox @ Cubs: Ranaudo vs Hammel (Game 100)
Bah.CHW (50-50): RHP Anthony Ranaudo (1-0, 17.18)
CHC (59-40): RHP Jason Hammel (9-5, 3.35)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST
Hammel and his potato chips won in Milwaukee on Friday (5 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB). The White Sox are 23-77 (.299) against him. Cabrera is 5-16 with 2 HR.
Jacob Turner, who evidently pitched for the Cubs for a half season when nobody was watching, was scheduled to start for the Sox but has been moved to the bullpen.
Instead, we get Ranaudo, who’s been called up from AAA. Acquired from the Rangers in May, the 26y/o New Jersey native is 5-4 with a 6.33 ERA in 9 starts and 13 career appearances with Texas and also Boston over the last couple of years. Zobrist, the only Cub to have faced him, is 1-7.
Edward Scissorhands (14-3, 3.18) versus Lackey (7-7, 3.79) at 7:05pmCST to end the “Classic.”
Go Cubs!
