Cubs 5, D-backs 1: No road series win for Arizona By Justin27 on Jul 25, 2021, 5:41pm EDT 16

Record: 31-70. Pace: 50-112. Change on 2004: -1.
Today s pitching matchup will be Trevor Williams vs Caleb Smith. Since being put back into the rotation, Smith has pitched well in all but 2 outings. In 9 starts, he has a deceptive 5.20 ERA and a 1-5 W-L record, has struck out twice as many as he has walked and opponents are batting .218 against him. Take out the start against the Dodgers and I am sure the ERA would drop a lot since he gave up 9 in only 1 inning. Smith has never faced the Cubs as a Dback, but on May 7th, 2019-while pitching for Miami, he struck out 11 in 6.2 giving up 2 runs. Trevor Williams last appearance against the Dbacks was in April 2019, when he was still with the Pirates.
