Cubs Using Regular Lester Lineup in Game 1 of NLCS

The National League Championship Series starts tonight (7:08pm CDT) at Wrigley Field with Jon Lester on the hill against Dodgers’ right-hander Kenta Maeda. And Joe Maddon is using his regular Lester Lineup in Game 1.

Joe Maddon is sticking with what got the Cubs to NLCS and has his defense-first starting lineup behind Jon Lester tonight. David Ross is catching and Javier Baez is at second base.

Maddon is going with an outfield of Ben Zobrist (LF), Dexter Fowler (CF) and Jason Heyward (RF) in what should be a windy night at Wrigley.
