Trevor Williams is pitching for the Cubs today, and he’s been a pretty traditional back-of-the-rotation starter: On again, off again, mixing in a great start, a good start, and a couple of bad starts on repeat. The last time he faced the Pirates, his former team, was one of his bad starts (3.1 IP, 10H, 5ER, 2BB, 3Ks). But we’ve also seen what he’s capable of when he’s locked in.
Hopefully, today is one of the good starts and the Cubs can make it five wins in a row, as well as two series wins back-to-back.
