Adbert Alzolay took the mound tonight for the Chicago Cubs against a familiar face and old friend, Jon Lester. It was an emotional night seeing both Lester and Kyle Schwarber back in Wrigley wearing different uniforms. Both received standing ovations.
The Cubs wasted no time scoring against Lester when Anthony Rizzo plated Willson Contreras on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 1st inning. They added more runs in the 2nd thanks to a two-run blast by Jason Heyward, his fourth home run of the year.
