The Cubs were unable to dig out of an early deficit Saturday night and dropped the middle game of the series to the Giants, 5-3. Jon Lester had his worst start of the season, and the offense could not string together any hits with runners on base. Kyle Hendricks faces Madison Bumgarner in the rubber game Sunday night (7:05pm CDT) on ESPN.
Jorge Soler followed up his best game of the season by getting on base twice, scoring a run and playing solid defense in left field that included throwing out a runner at second base trying to stretch a single to a double.
