Javier Assad - Lasts just four innings vs. CardsAssad did not factor into the decision Friday against St. Louis, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.
ImpactAssad was lucky to escape Friday's outing with just one run against him, particularly in the third inning when the Cards could only score once after loading the bases. However, Assad ultimately failed to qualify for a win as he was removed prior to the fifth inning after needing 97 pitches to get through four. Walks have been a struggle for Assad lately -- the 27-year-old right-hander's now issued 10 free passes in his last three starts (13.1 innings). Overall, he's 5-3 on the season with a 3.19 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 89:45 K:BB across 98.2 innings. Assad will look to improve his command in his next start, currently lined up for next week at home against Minnesota.

Héctor Neris - Grabs 15th saveNeris earned the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals, striking out two while issuing a walk over 1.1 innings.
ImpactNeris entered the game with the Cubs up 5-2 in the eighth inning after Julian Merryweather issued four walks to load the bases. Neris would walk the first batter he faced, allowing another run to score. However, he'd strike out Brandon Crawford to end the frame before setting St. Louis down in order in the ninth, sealing a 6-3 victory. The 35-year-old Neris has been excellent recently, allowing just one run in his last 13 appearances (12.1 innings). Overall, he sports a 3.46 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 41:25 K:BB across 39 innings this season while converting 15 of 19 save opportunities.
