Reds @ Cubs: DeSclafani vs. Haren (Game 131)
Pfffft. Well, that game happened.
The Reds were supposed to be an easy welcome home from the coast. The Cubs offense was a bit improved but should’ve done more damage to the rookie starter, and it would have needed to do a whole lot more to overcome our pitching and the defense of one Starlin Castro.
Castro is a like an abusive lover. He does just enough to woo you and think he’s changed, then he bites your head off. In the parlance of Dan Savage, the Cubs need to DTMFA.
Moving on...
CIN (54-76): RHP Anthony DeSclafani (7-10, 3.84)
CHC (74-56): RHP Dan Haren (8-9, 3.90)
First pitch: 7:05pm
