If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Or rather, if a lineup scores eight runs, run it out there again. Joe Maddon will go with the same lineup that saw every member (including Jon Lester) get a hit in yesterday’s game with the Cardinals again tonight against Jon Gray in Colorado.
Albert Almora Jr. once again gets the nod in the leadoff spot with Ian Happ taking some time to work with Chilli Davis and Ben Zobrist still nursing his sore back. Tonight will be another test for Almora, who gets his second consecutive start against a righty.
