"Javier Assad's first start in the big leagues this season was almost comically consistent the rest of his Cubs career. That is to say, good: 5.2 IP, 1H, 0ER 2BB, 3K."
"Although Assad was kept on the field to wear a lot more of these runs than he would have if the pitching staff was healthy and rested, the damage was done against him nonetheless: 4.1 IP, 11H, 9ER, 2BB, 3K."
The Chicago Cubs are set to complete their first series sweep of the season while extending their winning streak to five games. Javier Assad will start for the Cubs, with Tobias Myers starting for the Mets. The Cubs lineup features notable players like Nico Hoerner and Alex Bregman, with Carson Kelly replacing Miguel Amaya. The Mets lineup includes stars like Francisco Lindor and Luis Robert Jr. Assad's performance has been inconsistent, but he has shown potential despite injuries to key pitchers.
