Chicago Cubs(Ted Lilly)
@
St.Louis Cardinals(Braden Looper)
Scouting Reports:
Cubs:
This will be Lilly's second start against the Cardinals in a week. He gave up three runs on five hits over seven innings on Monday in a makeup game, striking out seven. Can he top that? Jim Edmonds and So Taguchi both homered off the lefty, who did hold Albert Pujols to a double. Lilly also notched his first career double, driving in a run, as well. His next win will set a career high.
Cardinals:
Looper saw a run of strong starts end in his last outing, but he remains the Cards' second-most reliable starter. He's thrived in daylight, with a 1.74 ERA in day games, so he'll get the call in the opener of the doubleheader. Looper has also gotten deep into games for the most part, making him a good choice for the beginning of 18 innings of baseball.
