Ernie Banks will be happy the Cubs are playing two, although I doubt he likes the split admission format. Kyle Lohse takes the mound for the Cardinals in game one against Carlos Zambrano. Lohse makes his first start in over a month due to a forearm injury. He’s allowed five of his six home runs with men on base this season. Zambrano is pitching well, but he’s just not winning. The Cubs won 9 of his 15 starts, but Carlos only took home the victory in four of them. Chicago scored two runs or less in five of his last seven starts.
The night-cap features Adam Wainwright and Randy Wells. Wainwright is 9 2/3 innings short of his 2008 total, and already exceeded his strikeouts by 19. Wells, in his first season as a starter, shows great control with just 14 walks in 69 innings, 1.8 per 9 innings.
