CIN (8-12): RHP Tyler Glasnow (0-0, 2.25)
First pitch: 6:10pmCST
The Cubs go for the sweep against the Pirates, and remember: revenge is a dish best served...
Lester gave up 5 ER in 5.2 innings but managed to come away with a no-decision, his fourth straight, in a game the Cubs went on to win in dramatic fashion on Bryant's 11th inning sac fly on Friday in Cincinnati. Lester went 2-1 with a 3.80 in four starts against the Pirates last year. They hit .263 against him in those starts. For their careers, the Pirates are 37-153 (.242) against him. Freese is 5-16.
Glasnow gave up 1 ER in 4.2 against the Yankees on Friday but was taken out after 102 pitches. He went 0-2 with a 4.24 in 4 starts and 7 appearances for the Pirates last year in his rookie season. The Cubs are 6-20 (.300) against him. Russell is 2-3, and Bryant is 1-3 with a HR.
A day off, then it's Arrieta and Pomeranz at 6:10pmCST in Boston, where we get to experience the virtue of the DH.
Go Cubs!
