这场比赛呈现了匹兹堡新秀王牌投手保罗·斯基内斯与芝加哥老将科林·里亚之间的引人入胜的对比,小熊队绝望地试图结束他们灾难性的1-9连败。斯基内斯带来了精英级别的投球技术,拥有一记毁灭性的四缝线快速球,平均速度97英里并在最近的比赛中达到98.4英里。他的六种投球混合,以三位数的热球和一记令人不快的分叉球为中心,不断制造挥棒落空的机会,应该能够对过去十场比赛中表现不佳的小熊击线构成挑战。与此同时,里亚提供了不同的投球方案,他的快速球速度为93.7英里与变速球相结合,但他4.83的自责分率和1.37的WHIP表明他对拥有oneil cruz和brandon lowe等合理强力威胁的海盗进攻容易被击穿。小熊队最近的进攻困境不容小觑——在他们的1-9连败期间平均每场仅2.6分,同时还要应对贾斯汀·斯蒂尔和马特·肖等关键球员的严重伤病。他们的客场战绩(12-15)加剧了在PNC公园面对斯基内斯的挑战,匹兹堡在那里保持了15-14的尊敬战绩。然而,芝加哥昨天刚刚爆发10分,表明尽管经历了长期低迷,但进攻潜力仍然存在。清田贵也和尼科·霍纳代表了小熊队对阵匹兹堡年轻先发投手产生稳定进攻的最佳希望。尽管克里斯·德文斯基因病缺席,匹兹堡的牛棚形势似乎比芝加哥更稳定。海盗队已经证明他们能够有效地支持他们的先发投手,其正的得分差就是证明。芝加哥的中继投手在他们的连败期间承受了巨大压力,随着多名投手在伤病名单上,深度可能会成为一个因素。天气条件有利于进攻,天空晴朗温度温和,但来自西北方向的12英里时速的风应该会使大多数飞球留在PNC公园范围内。

Game Preview

保罗·斯基内斯登上投手丘,希望继续他令人印象深刻的新秀赛季,对阵急切想要停止颓势的小熊队。这位年轻的右投手早早树立了他的统治地位,但尼科·霍纳在第二局获得保送,并在迈克尔·康福托的单打中得分,使芝加哥以1-0领先。匹兹堡在下半局立即做出回应,oneil cruz将科林·里亚的快速球击进阿勒格尼河外场座椅,布兰登·洛威在两个击球手之后跟进一记打点二垒打,给海盗队2-1的领先。比赛的决定性时刻出现在第三局,当时匹兹堡利用了里亚的控制问题。在尼克·冈萨雷斯获得保送和斯宾塞·霍维茨击出单打后,布莱恩·雷诺兹击出一记关键的两分三垒打,将领先优势扩大到4-1。与此同时,斯基内斯找到了节奏,在第三到第五局之间令出9个,共10个击球手,同时速度一直在98英里。小熊队在第五局发起了最严肃的威胁,当清田贵也和卡森·凯利连续安打导致两分,将差距缩小到4-3。当两名先发投手在第七局左右退场时,匹兹堡的牛棚被证明优于芝加哥削弱的中继投手阵容。海盗队在第八局添加了关键的保险分,克鲁兹再次交出关键一击,又得2分,将领先优势扩大到7-4。芝加哥在第九局发起最后一次冲击,霍纳的牺牲飞球得分,但海盗队的关门投手确保了最后两个出局,结束了小熊队的痛苦,并在主场球迷面前给匹兹堡带来了一场令人满意的7-5胜利。

高信心源于斯基内斯和里亚之间显著的才能差距,加上芝加哥长期的进攻困境和糟糕的客场战绩。小熊队最近的1-9战绩对阵具有积极潜在指标的海盗队创造了有利的主场对阵。

Chicago Cubs — 新闻

MLB Mailbag: Royals, Cubs, Jordan Walker, Braves

Royals' 23-38 record and -53 run differential (233 RS, 286 RA) reflect offensive collapse despite Wacha's 3.23 ERA and Lugo's 3.55 ERA—rotation competence can't overcome league-worst away record (8-21). Jordan Walker (STL) at .372 xwOBA on 58 G represents legitimate extension candidate, though Cubs' pitching decay (Taillon 5.37 ERA, Rea 4.70 xwOBA .353) argues against deadline aggression at 32-29.
