The Cubs set a postseason record with 6 HRs to pick up their ace. Now let’s win it at home.
STL: RHP John Lackey
CHC: RHP Jason Hammel
First pitch: 3:37pmCT
Hammel last pitched on Oct. 1, when he won in Cincinnati (5 IP, 0 ER). At Wrigley this year, he went 3-3 with a 3.99. He’s 1-1 with a 5.73 in three games against St. Louis this year, and they are batting .244 against him in those games. The one game against the Cardinals at Wrigley came on July 8, when he left after an inning because of a hamstring tweak.
