Cubs going with Lester for Game 1 of NLCS
- Updated: October 12, 2016
SAN FRANCISCO — Jon Lester, who threw eight shutout innings in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Giants, will open the NL Championship Series on Saturday at Wrigley Field (FOX/FS1, time TBD). He just doesn’t know who he’ll be facing yet.
After winning the NLDS in four games, the Cubs will play the winner of the series between the Nationals and Dodgers, which was tied at 2 wins apiece. Their decisive game will be Thursday.
“This is what you play for,” Lester said. “It’s October.”
