Giants @ Cubs: Samardzija vs Butler (Game 46)
SF (20-28): RHP Jeff Samardzija (1-5, 4.57)
CHC (24-21): RHP Eddie Butler (1-0, 2.00)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Butler threw 92 pitches over 3 innings and gave up 2 ER against the Brewers on Friday for a no-decision. The Giants are 9-42 (.214) against him. Belt is 3-7.
Samardzija had a strong outing but ended up with a no-decision in St. Louis on Saturday (8 IP, 0 ER, 8 K, 0 BB). The Cubs are 22-79 (.278) against him. Jay is 12-30 with a HR.
Ryu is out of the picture for the series with the Dodgers, so we get Lester vs Kershaw on Sunday. That'll be fun. Tomorrow is Arrieta and Wood at 9:10pmCST, so make sure you get in a disco nap.
Go Cubs!
