When the experienced left -handed Matthew Boyd signed with Chicago in Offseason, he was happy to join a CUBS team with aggressive firepower and strong defense potential.
And the pups lead the National League average and run in the run – and sit in the second place in home runs – did not disappoint.
On Tuesday night, they showed the scoring ability to score with a 9-0 win against the pirates, and in the second match of a three-game series on Wednesday night, they showed that they would hope for the same run.
In the first match of the series, all of the nine doughs in the series Cubs recorded at least one hits and none of them went out, pointing for the first time since July 3, 2013. Seiya Suzuki detonated one of the four home runs for Chicago and made a single kick for the loop.
Boyd said: “The reason I sign here and why we all believe in a big dream. We want to be a team that plays at the end of October, but until then there is a lot to do.”
This season, five initially, Boyd (2-2, 2.54 ERA) in each of the two wins of the seven runs and two losses in two losses were united. On April 23, 7-6 wins against Los Angeles Dodgers on April 23, this season gave up the double-digit hit (10) and allowed six runs (three won). Two home running surrendered and four hit.
34-year-old Boyd, who was with the Fifth Major League club, and 7.11 ERA in five careers against pirates and 0-3. The last beginning of them was the most successful despite the loss of 3-0. Last August 31, Cleveland Guardians shot, left a run in four strokes in six strokes.
On Wednesday, he will meet a Pittsburgh series that continues to fight after being closed for the fifth time this season. Pirates, the National League in the stroke – .224 compared to .263.
For the predicted beginners, numerous injuries encouraged the pirates to carry Carmen Mlodzinski (1-3, 6.95 ERA) to rotation from Bullpen. However, the 26 -year -old child, especially in a game for the second and third time in a series of struggles in general.
Last Thursday, his last beginning, a host, including three strokes, including three strokes, gave a little better results than his previous two trips and his team walked to Los Angeles Angels 4-3 loss.
Pirates, Mlodzinski’nin fourth shot before leaving three runs in the fourth shot 3-0 ahead.
After the game, he studied his performance.
“The consistent things I noticed, especially when I start tired, my fastballs are driven in the region.” He said. “(Thursday) I did a better job on this issue, I raised my fastball in the region later in the game, but my fastball doesn’t have to be damaged.
Pittsburgh Beginners Jared Jones and Johan Oviedo, although they were not ready to make the season exits as they get rid of the injuries, Modzinski’s struggles encouraged to question whether the pirates would encourage one of the best shooting expectations from small leagues, and Modzinski moved back to the bull.
Mlodzinski never started against CUBS, but he has 2.45 ERA in a 7 1/3 career relaxation kick.
