Pitching is still quite worrisome

While the major league position players mostly took the day off, there were two Cubs pitchers who will be on the 25-man roster who appeared on Sunday. Neither did very well. Mike Montgomery started the game, lasted just two innings, and allowed three runs on three hits and two walks. Brad Brach came into the game later and showed why his reduced velocity has some fans concerned. Lasting just 2/3 of an inning, he allowed two hits, three runs, and two walks.
