Chicago Cubs Lineup: Willson Contreras Gets First Major League Start Against Cardinals

Willson Contreras will get his first major league start tonight for the Chicago Cubs (47-20) as they go up against the St. Louis Cardinals (35-33) . Willson sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy last night when he hit the first major league pitch he’d seen into the center field bleachers.

John Lackey will take the mound trying to send the Cardinals further into oblivion. The Cardinals are currently 12.5 games back of the Cubs,
