Lester, who jumps over Arrieta again, kept up his string of no-decisions on Sunday, despite another strong outing, this time against the Pirates (7 IP, 0 ER, 3K, 2 BB). Last season, he went 2-1 with a 3.03 in five starts against the Reds. Overall, they are 25-107 (.234) against him. Billy Hamilton is 6-10 with 2 HRs, and Votto is 7-24 with a HR. There will be steals.
Adelman has had one outing this season, a four-inning relief appearance of one-run ball against the Brewers. We saw him in two starts last year in his rookie season, in which he went 1-0 with a 3.97. The Cubs are 9-33 (.273) against him. Rizzo is 4-6, and Contreras and Russell have taken him deep.
Arrieta and Reed tomorrow at 12:10pmCST.
Go Cubs!
