Lester looks to limit Tribe’s extra chances in rematch
- Updated: October 30, 2016
CHICAGO — When Jon Lester looked back on his outing from Game 1 against the Indians, what bothered him the most were the free baserunners — three walks and a hit batsman.
Limiting those free passes will be key for Lester on Sunday night when he starts for the Cubs in Game 5 of the World Series. Trevor Bauer will start on short rest for Cleveland.

“It’s the walks and the hit-by-pitch that really haunt me in that first inning,” the left-hander said. “You can’t give up free baserunners, especially this time of year. You just give them more opportunities to see you. You have to make more pitches. You may have to show your hand a little bit earlier in what you’re trying to do to guys.”
