One night after cooking the Giants of San Francisco on a visit, the Chicago Cubs will aim to win their third consecutive series on Tuesday evening.
Chicago has won four of his last five games, including a 9-2 victory against the Giants at the opening of the series on Monday – slamming the sequence of three consecutive victories for visitors. For the fifth time in seven games, the Cubs have scored at least six points and have now placed an MLB-Malf 217 this season. Chicago also run the 30 teams on average in the stick (0.262) and success (332).
The phenomenal start of the club of the marble season was exposed on Monday, in particular the sixth round, when the Cubs displayed five points to move away from the giants.
“We continued to move the line and we found ourselves with a large number on the board,” said Cubs director Craig Counsell. “We took advantage of a few mistakes, but we also exerted real pressure on our bats.”
It is difficult to highlight a place in the order that Chicago does not receive production, and this includes the receiver Carson Kelly. After launching his eighth home run of the season on Monday, Kelly is battling now .361 with 23 products produced.
“He continues to make good swings, to have good in bats,” said Counsell about Kelly. “The attack on this position is difficult to find in this league and when you get it, it makes your attack dangerous.”
The mound on Tuesday, Colin Rea (2-0, 1.46 ERA) starts – his fifth of the season.
The last time, REA launched two two-point ball handles in an 8-3 victory against Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
Rea, 34, will seek to find more luck against the Giants, because the right-handed veteran has a record of 1-3 and an 8.57 MPM in four career in career against them.
San Francisco started his six -game road trip on a bad foot on Monday, bringing together only two points while making four mistakes.
“Just an outside evening,” said Giants manager Bob Melvin. “Obviously, our launchers had to work a little harder after the mistakes. We are better than that defensively.”
The only form of giant offense came to the two -point Matos point circuit in fourth – the second in three games for the 23 -year -old outflow.
“He has played three games in a row, and for a young player who becomes coherent in bats is beneficial,” said Melvin about Matos. “After having struggled to start the season, it seems that he was kicking the bat much better.”
Justin Verlander (0-2, 4.38 ERA) is trying to win his first victory with the Giants Tuesday in his eighth departure with the club.
The future temple of fame comes out of its longest out of the season, launching 6 1/3 shots of two points in a decision without a decision against the Rockies of Colorado. The giants lost 4-3.
Verlander, 42, only faced the Cubs three times during his 20-year career, displaying a record of 2-0 and an MPM of 1.50 against the club.
