The Milwaukee Brewers will be facing another left-handed starting pitcher in the NLDS; in Game 2, the Chicago Cubs are sending Shota Imanaga to the mound. Over the weekend, Milwaukee pummeled lefty Matthew Boyd, who was operating on three days’ rest, forcing him out of the game before the first inning came to an end.
Imanaga enters tonight's game with one extra day of rest compared to Boyd, but he did throw 67 pitches last Wednesday against the San Diego Padres, operating in a long relief role after Andrew Kittredge was used as an opener.
