The Cubs were able to manage only one win in San Diego. Their two losses included blowing an eight-run lead in the series opener. Following a day off on Thursday, they proceed to Seattle for another three-game series. See daily matchups below.
Game 13, Friday, April 12, 8:40 pm central
CHC: LHP Jordan Wicks (0-1, 4.15 ERA)
SEA: RHP Bryce Miller (1-1, 3.00 ERA)
Wicks is still in search of the last out of the fifth inning. He's posted higher than expected strikeout and walk rates so far, albeit in only 8.2 innings pitched. He's also used his changeup at just over half the rate he did last year and is turning more frequently to the fastball--possibly a biproduct of his relatively short starts so far.
