Cubs LHP Hill looks to continue hot April

Apr 24, 2007 - 2:23 PM Milwaukee (12-7) at Chicago Cubs (7-12) 8:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Lefthander Rich Hill has enjoyed quite a month for the Chicago Cubs.

Hill (3-0, 0.41 ERA) seeks to continue his April dominance when the Cubs host the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.

Through 22 innings this season, Hill has allowed just one run and eight hits, including a seven-inning, one-hit gem in his first start against Milwaukee. He is riding a 16-inning scoreless streak after allowing a solo homer to Corey Hart to lead off the sixth inning of his first start against the Brewers.

In his last start, the 26-year-old lefthander handcuffed the Braves, striking out seven and limiting Atlanta to four hits in Chicago's 3-0 win on Thursday. Hill is 1-0 with a 1.47 ERA in three appearances - including two starts - against Milwaukee for his career.

The Brewers will counter with Jeff Suppan (2-2, 3.91). After suffering losses in his first two outings, the righthander has defeated two of his former teams - St. Louis and Pittsburgh - - over his last two starts. In his win over Pittsburgh last Thursday, the 13-year veteran yielded three runs and six hits.

Prince Fielder, who homered twice in Milwaukee's 5-4 extra-inning victory in the series opener, has four multi-homer games in his career, three of which have happened at Wrigley Field.
