On the other side, Jon Lester got the start. He pitched 4.2 innings allowing 3 hits and 1 run. He walked 5 and struck out 2 as he was awarded a no-decision.
The offense got started in the 5th inning when Addison Russell hit a solo shot that put the Cubs on the board. Turner answered back with a RBI single in the 5th inning that brought in Charlie Culberson and the score was tied at 1-1.
