Garza getting helped by some good defense so far today.

 

CUBS only made 1 error (Castillo's interference call) in the whole 3 game "series" vs. white sox.

[Guest]

Garza getting through 2ip in only 20 pitches seems like a minor miracle.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS pitchers have allowed 1 HR in their last 5 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

You're right. In his first 2 starts he averaged 19.33 P/IP !!

We've finally got that sequencing thing down.
