What a 9th inning. 6 runs with 2 outs and now it's a sweep.

Upcoming starting pitching matchups in the Cubs series.

Greene 3.44 ERA vs Assad 2.27 ERA
Lodolo 3.11 ERA vs Steele 4.10 ERA
Abbott 3.39 ERA vs Brown 3.33 ERA
Montas 4.00 ERA vs Imanaga 1.88 ERA

The day off before the two game series with the Guardians gives an extra day for Ashcraft to rest or gives them an extra day to make a decision on Williamson, who is killing it in his rehab starts. It's hard to send a guy down or move him to the bullpen after a game at Coors Field, but Ashcraft is now looking at a 5.05 ERA and Williamson looks to be ready. From Reds.com

There's been a couple stretches in Ashcraft's career where it's looked like he was gonna develop into a solid starter. And then there's been a couple times he's not looked very good including the current one.

It may well be time to put Ashcraft in bullpen and bring up Williamson. We need all the help we can get.
