It’s a battle of southpaws as the South Side squad travels to the Friendly Confines with a five-game winning streak in the works. They haven’t lost since being swept last Saturday in a doubleheader against the Cardinals, and the Sox have outscored their opponents 38-11 in that time. Granted, four of those were against the Tigers.
Jon Lester will try to but the brakes on that streak as he looks to rebound from his worst performance of the season so far. He was roughed up pretty badly by the Brewers, allowing nine of the 16 hits and five of the seven earned runs recorded against him this season.
