CHC (92-69): LHP Mike Montgomery (7-8, 3.45)
First pitch: 2:20pmCST
The Cubs pass that shify (and non-prime) 91 and Scherzer cramps up. It's never nice to be happy about injuries, but this one seems minor and could be well timed...
For today, we have the rubber-armed Montgomery. (How can you not love this guy?)
He last started in Tampa Bay on September 19th (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 0 BB) and has appeared in two games in relief since then, giving up 1 ER in 3.1 innings.
