CHC (10-8): LHP Brett Anderson (1-0, 4.40)
PIT (8-10): RHP Chad Kuhl (1-1, 2.60)
First pitch: 6:05pmCST
Anderson shit the bed against the Brewers his last time out (3.2 IP, 6 ER, 5 K, 0 BB) but avoided the loss thanks to the Cubs' late-inning heroics. Overall, the Pirates are 6-31 (.194) against him. McCutchen is 2-7, and Mercer has a HR.
Kuhl gave up 2 ER in 6 innings but lost in St. Louis in his last outing. We saw him in three starts last year in his rookie season. He went 0-2 with a 10.45 ERA. The Cubs are a healthy 17-38 (.447) against him. Rizzo is 4-7 with a HR. Everyone has a hit but Russell.
Hendricks (1-2, 6.19) and Cole (1-2, 4.70) tomorrow at the same time.
Go Cubs!
