The Cubs’ listless offense was on full display last night, striking out 16 times while collecting just two hits. It wasn’t fun, but at least Jon Lester and Craig Kimbrel resembled their old selves. It’ll be incumbent upon the hitters to provide a wee bit more support tonight.
Ian Happ will lead off in center, followed by Kris Bryant at first, Willson Contreras catching, and Kyle Schwarber as the DH. Javy Báez moves down to fifth at short, Cameron Maybin is in left, and Jason Heyward is in right.
