Lester typically is not great in the first inning. This game, he wasn't great in the first couple of innings, giving up 4 runs by the end of the third inning. The thing with the early season Cubs is that they were in such early inning holes that it was tough to battle back.
That was the same case with this game where a 4-0 deficit was just too much to come back from. Thankfully neither Edwards nor Chatwood gave up any runs so that is the ultimately small silver lining to just a rather off day for the Cubs.
Some times the hare really beats the tortoise and this was one of those times. I really have nothing much to say about this game, it existed, the Cubs lost, on to the rubber game!
