Hill Versus Arizona

Lou Piniella will send Rich Hill to the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. Hill was 11-8 in the regular season with an ERA of 3.92. Livan Hernandez will pitch for Arizona.

But games are not won by pitchers alone. If they hope to win, the Cubs will have to improve on their dismal offense in Games 1 and 2. As a team, their collective batting average is .179. They have scored only five runs in two games.

I don't care to say anything about Arizona's hitting stats.
