First pitch: 1:20pmCST
Lester gave up 3 ER in 5.2 and lost in St. Louis on Saturday. He had an ugly no-decision in Cincinnati last month (5.2 IP, 5 ER 4 K, 2 BB). Overall, the Reds are 33-130 (.254) against him. Hamilton is 7-13 with 2 HR.
Garrett beat the Giants on May 6, giving up 2 ER in 6 innings. Since then he has been doing time in AAA to "limit his innings" (read: extend the team's control for another year).
