Lester rolling into Pittsburgh matchup
(MLB.com Chicago Cubs)

Jon Lester will get the start tonight for the Cubs in the middle matchup of a three-game series with the Pirates. The lefty has not given up more than two runs in each of his past five outings. He took the loss Wednesday against the Indians, giving up one run over seven innings. Lester did not get a decision against the Pirates on April 11. Pittsburgh recalled right-hander Nick Kingham from Triple-A to make the start. First pitch at PNC Park is scheduled for 6:05 CT.
