The Astros edged the Cubs, 8-6, taking the first of a two-game exhibition set that will mark the final tuneup for both teams. Houston right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. struck out the side in the first inning, but he struggled for the next two. The Cubs tagged him for three runs on four hits in a second highlighted by a leadoff triple by Ben Zobrist and RBIs by Addison Russell and Javier Baez. "The good thing about tonight is it doesn't count," McCullers said. "That's one positive. My fastball command was pretty good today. I struggled with my breaking ball, I struggled with my changeup. To be able to see good life on my heater, being able to put it in and out. ... The breaking ball wasn't really working, The changeup, I didn't have a lot of confidence in it. That's on me, I'll figure it out. I"ve got until Tuesday." The Astros answered in the bottom of the inning behind a two-run homer by Josh Reddick, his first long ball of the spring, off Cubs lefty Brett Anderson. "The homer Reddick hit was a pitch that I probably could've hit out -- it was right on his barrel," said Anderson, who graded his stuff a "D-minus." "The defense made some really good plays behind me and I was able to get my pitch count up and get through five [innings]," Anderson said. "If this was a regular-season game, it would've given us a chance to win. There were mostly positives going forward, knowing my stuff will be better, can be better, and the fact that I got through it and my body feels good and my arm feels good and I'll get ready for St. Louis and Milwaukee." The third frame produced home runs from each team -- Russell's two-run shot into the Crawford Boxes off McCullers, and an opposite-field homer by Jose Altuve off Anderson, narrowing the Cubs' advantage to 5-3. The longest homer of the night belonged to Anthony Rizzo, who launched a solo shot into the second deck in right field off James Hoyt. Another offensive burst for the Astros occurred in the sixth. Evan Gattis' two-run double off Hector Rondon tied the game at 6, and Alex Bregman's base hit off Jhondaniel Medina gave Houston its first lead. That lead increased by one when a passed ball by Kyle Schwarber allowed the eighth Astros run to score. Schwarber started in left field but switched to catcher in the sixth, the first time he's done so in a Major League game since he tore two ligaments in his left knee last April 7. Schwarber, considered the third catcher on the Cubs' depth chart, did catch four innings in a Minor League game last Friday. Cubs Up Next: The Cubs wrap up the exhibition season Friday at 1:10 p.m. CT when Kyle Hendricks faces the Astros in his final preseason start, free on MLB.TV. The Major League ERA leader last season, Hendricks had not walked a batter until his last outing in Las Vegas, when he walked four. He finished Cactus League play with 15 strikeouts over 16 2/3 innings. Astros Up Next: The Astros wrap up their spring season Friday, free on MLB.TV against the Cubs at Minute Maid Park. Right-hander Joe Musgrove, who compiled a 2.45 ERA throughout the exhibition season to earn a spot in the rotation, will take the mound for the Astros. -- Cubs.com Lester earns right to start Opening Night By Carrie Muskat HOUSTON -- Jon Lester and Orval Overall will have something in common on Sunday night. Overall was the Cubs' Opening Day starter in 1909, the last year the franchise followed a World Series championship season. Lester will open the Cubs' defense of their championship when they face the Cardinals in St. Louis on ESPN at 7:35 p.m. CT. "Opening Day always means something to me," Lester said. "That's obviously an honor to be named that guy, especially on this staff and in this organization. I've been fortunate enough to do it a couple times. It's never easy, but it's always fun." It's not easy partly because of all the hoopla surrounding the game, he said. "It's a weird time," the lefty said. "There's so much more going into that than starting Game 1 of the playoffs, because then you've had the whole season, you know where you're at, you know what's working, you've got your scouting reports. I feel that first one is always different. But it's also fun. There's a lot of different emotions going into it." The biggest change for Lester is that his favorite catcher, David Ross, is now "Dancing With the Stars" following his retirement. Willson Contreras is the Cubs' regular catcher, and this spring, he's shadowed Lester. Contreras has caught not only Lester's Cactus League starts, but also his two Minor League games and every bullpen session. Contreras asserted himself early in camp and told Ross he wanted to learn Lester's quirks on his own. The best way to do that? "You just pitch," Lester said. "I'm still understanding how he calls the game. It goes both ways -- it's not just me sitting out there going, 'No, no, no, you're not doing anything right.' I'm learning from him, as well, and what he likes to do." What Lester figured out quickly is that he needs to duck when runners try to steal on Contreras, whose throw to second almost has more velocity than the lefty's pitches. Not many teams have a pitching staff strong enough in which the Major League ERA leader is the No. 5 starter, but that's the Cubs' rotation. Lester will start the opener and be followed by Jake Arrieta, John Lackey, newcomer Brett Anderson and Kyle Hendricks, who topped the Majors with a 2.13 ERA. Lester finished second in the National League Cy Young Award balloting last year; Hendricks was third. With all the talent, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said it was fairly easy to select Lester as the Opening Night starter.

  • October 16, 2015 Daily Herald Chicago Cubs Like Their Options At
    October 16, 2015 Daily Herald Chicago Cubs like their options at top of rotation By Bruce Miles The Chicago Cubs figure they can't go wrong either way. Ten months ago, they signed left-hander Jon Lester to be their ace pitcher to start games like the opener of a championship series. Jake Arrieta, though, wasn't about to give up his title of staff ace, and he won 22 games during the regular season plus 2 more so far in the postseason. So what's a manager to do? Enjoy the best of both worlds, that's what. Cubs manager Joe Maddon announced Thursday that Lester will start Game 1 of the National League championship series Saturday with Arrieta going in Game 2. Really, it doesn't make all that much difference, as both will get two chances to help get the Cubs to the World Series. The real benefit may come from getting Arrieta an extra day of rest. "It kind of played out well," Maddon said. "I'm really comfortable with them both being starters in two games, possibly. That's what we're most comfortable with." Arrieta is far into uncharted territory as far as innings pitched goes. Including 2 starts in the postseason, he has thrown 243⅔ innings. His major-league best was 156⅔, set last year when he emerged as the ace of the Cubs' staff. In the postseason, Arrieta tossed a complete game last week in beating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the wild-card game. He looked somewhat mortal Monday in Game 3 of the division series, giving up 4 runs over 5⅔ innings.
