Lester went 7 and gave up 2 unearned runs against the Cards on Monday. He is approaching the two-month mark since his last win (May 16). The Sox are 39-169 (.231) against him from his time with Boston. The former Yankee Cabrera (12-42 with a HR) has faced him the most and has the most success against him.
Sale won against Toronto his last time out (9 IP, 2 ER). He had a bit of a late and slow start but has settled in nicely, including going 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA in June. A couple of the Cubs have had an AB or three against him, but no one has a hit.
This is not going to be pretty, especially if you’re listening to the TV broadcast.
Go Cubs!
