Lester won in Miami on Saturday (7 IP, 3 ER, 4 K, 1 BB). Overall, the Nationals are 32-136 (.235) against him. Wieters is 16-47.
Ross beat the Reds his last time out (7 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 1 BB). The Cubs are 9-29 (.310) against him. Jay and LaStella are 2-3.
Bryant's ankle may or may not require a DL-stint, but it could be worse. He will have the day off, regardless. We also learned that Montero's mouth is quicker than his arm. Thanks for the memories, Monty.
It’s Montgomery (1-4) against Feldman (6-5) in Cincinnati tomorrow at 6:10pmCST.
Go Cubs!
