Chicago Cubs Lineup: Lester Seeking Win in Series Finale; Coghlan in LF, Baez at SS
Here we go. The final game of the series. A series that started off with a thud and resumed last night with a blast.
Jon Lester (7-3, 2.06 ERA) will be backing the Cubs tonight as they seek yet another series win in 2016.
Chris Coghlan is starting in left field for the Cubs and it’s a deja vu. Welcome back goes out to Chris. We’d love to see him start the journey to improve his .148/.216/.272 slash line to something much closer to the man we all came to appreciate over the last two years.
Addison Russell has the night off tonight and the ever-versatile Javier Baez is starting at shortstop.
