Jeff Suppan (7-5, 3.71 ERA, 39 K's, 80 IP)
Series Tied 1-1
It will be interesting to see if Zambrano's pitching will be affected by Barrett, if he catches.
Scouting Report:
Cubs: Zambrano is coming off an interesting game. The right-hander took the loss in an 8-5 decision to the Braves. He gave up seven runs, six earned, on 13 hits over five innings and also got into a skirmish in the dugout with catcher Michael Barrett. Big Z beat the Brewers on April 7, giving up three runs over seven innings. He did not get a decision in an extra-inning game April 23, lasting 5 1/3 innings in that contest.
Brewers: Suppan has pitched at least six innings and surrendered at least three runs in each of his last five starts while consistently keeping the Brewers in games. In his most recent outing against the Marlins on Friday he surrendered four earned runs in seven innings, good enough to improve to 9-1 lifetime at Miller Park with the win. He beat the Cubs at Wrigley Field on April 24, scattering eight hits in eight shutout innings.
