Lester beat Seattle on Thursday (6 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 2 BB)—and the 12 Cubs runs didn’t hurt. He went 2-1 with a 7.36 in July, and is 5-2 with a 4.03 this year on the road. The A’s are 19-98 (.194) against him. Valencia is 6-20 with a HR.
This is the rookie Overton’s 5th start. He gave up 3 ER in 5.2 innings but beat the Angels. He was roughed up in Cleveland—Hello, Cleveland!—his last time out (3.1 IP, 5 ER, 1 K, 1 BB). None of the Cubs have seen him.
Arrieta (12-5, 2.75) versus whatever happened to Sonny Gray (5-10, 5.84) tomorrow at 3:05pmCST.
Go Cubs!
