Jon Lester, Cubs stymie Angels 6-1

AT THE PLATE: The Angels had only three hits against Jon Lester in five innings. After Lester departed, they did even less, finishing the game with four hits. Zach Gibbons had a triple and Eric Young Jr., Kaleb Cowart and Michael Hermosillo had singles. Luis Valbuena drove in the only run (with a sacrifice fly) as the Angels were shut out over the final four innings by four different Chicago relievers.

ON THE MOUND: Starter Matt Shoemaker pitched into the fourth inning, but the results weren't great. He gave up six runs and eight hits, striking out four and walking two.
