Adbert Alzolay will pitch for the Cubs today, but he will not bat. Lucky for him, because Shane Bieber has been pretty darn good this season, never once pitching fewer than 6.0 innings or allowing more than 3 earned runs. Yeah, you read that right. Bieber has gone 7/7 in quality starts this season, and has only twice not reached double-digit strikeouts … both times it was 9Ks.
Altogether that’s 77 strikeouts against 15 walks in 48.1 IP. Oof.
Good luck, Cubs bats (minus Nico Hoerner, Ian Happ, Jake Marisnick, and Javy Baez tonight).
