Chicago Cubs News: Chatwood’s first start; Lester’s velocity a concern?

The Chicago CubsTyler Chatwood put together a mixed bag of results that lead to a 1-0 loss. His six walks were a concern. But to be honest, not unexpected. Chatwood seems to come up with his best pitches when under stress. Not, would it be ideal for him to not walk that many batters? Of course. But other than an RBI groundout to Adam Duvall, Chatwood held the Reds in check for six innings. That’s more than we can say about most of the starter the first time through the rotation.
