I’m not going to lie, I was a bit nervous about Jen-Ho Tseng getting the start after the Cubs announced that Yu Darvish was on the 10 day disabled list. Tseng was okay out of the bullpen for the Cubs last September but pretty bad as a starter. He hasn’t exactly dazzled in Triple-A this year as you can see below:
Looking at Iowa's rotation:
Jen-Ho Tseng last pitched May 2, but has an 8.04 ERA, 32 K, 13 BB and 1.85 WHIP in 31 1/3 IP.
Michael Roth pitched on May 3 and has a 3.
