CHICAGO (AP) — Jon
Lester allowed one run in
seven innings, and Chi-

the makeup of a contest
scheduled for April 14 that

with a run-scoring double,
one of his three RBIs, as Chi-
cago picked up its second
win in its past eight games.
Lester (4-4) allowed four
singles, walked one and
struck out six, giving up his
