Maddon studies the numbers, and he knew that left-handed hitters actually have fared better against Siegrist, batting .278, while right-handers were hitting .164. Maddon also remembered an at-bat Coghlan had on Sept. 20 at Wrigley Field against Siegrist, when he singled off the Cardinals' lefty. Coghlan was 8-for-17 against Lackey, which is why he got the start. He was 1-for-3 versus Siegrist.
