Game one went to the Giants yesterday. And unfortunately, game two is not set up in the Cubs favor today.
Not only is Kevin Gausman on the mound for San Francisco (he’s been really great this season), Zach Davies is on the mound for the Cubs coming off a very disappointing outing against the Pirates (4.0 IP, 8H, 6ER, 3BB, 3Ks) following two mostly fine starts against the Twins (4.1 IP, 6H, 1ER, 0BB, 3Ks) and Rockies (4.2 IP, 3H, 2ER, 1BB, 6Ks).
They’re all short outings and none of those offenses are particularly impressive, but Davies had gotten into a bit of a groove there for a moment before the floodgates opened against Pittsburgh. Ah, well. That’s just who he is.
Go Cubs.
