Bumgarner will take the mound seeking his first win of the season. After a rough start to the year, the young lefty has put together three straight quality starts, allowing two runs and striking out 19 batters over his last 19 innings.

Ryan Dempster, RHP

1-4, 7.20 ERA
Dempster is on a little roll after putting together his second straight quality start in his last outing, against the Reds. He has a 1.93 ERA in those two games after posting a 9.58 ERA in his first six starts. The key? Better pitch execution.

0-0, -.-- ERA
Davis, 35, will be making his first start in the Majors since July 9, 2010. He was 1-4 with a 7.51 ERA in eight starts last year with the Brewers, and signed with the Cubs in April. On Tuesday, he tuned up by throwing 59 pitches for Triple-A Iowa.

[Dan0mite]

I say 2. Should win tomorrow and the Cubs had success against Lincencum(sp?) last year. Also, I'm an optimist.

 

[daddies3angels]

i really think it be long weekend. SFG are hot and Cubs cant score against any SP. What makes you think they can scoree off WS champs?

 

[daddies3angels]

Castro,Barney,Byrd,Baker,Soriano,Johnson,Pena, Hill, and Demp.....not fan of this lineup. Pena to me should be over Johnson. Why isnt Castillo playing against LHP?

It would be nice to start hitting for some power. Today is not the day to hit ball in air though

Reed Johnson just showed why you cant hit ball in air today

 

[85Bears4life]
