Pfffft.
SEA (52-50): RHP Felix Hernandez (5-4, 3.45)
CHC (62-41): LHP Brian Matusz (0-0, 12.00)
First pitch: 7:08pmCST
Hendricks was supposed to go tonight, but Maddon is implementing his random six-man rotation strategy. After getting no-hit for six innings by the ball boy and losing a tough game yesterday—what’s not to love about basically conceding a home game in July to a .500 team? Let the record show that, unless this works, I’m against it.
Matusz signed with the Cubs in June, after being cut by the Braves—the Braves! He last pitched in the majors on May 17 with the Orioles, when he gave up 4 ER in 1.
