The Chicago Cubs (16-14) will play against the New York Yankees (19-9) at 7:08 p.m. CDT on Sunday night on ESPN. Lefty veteran Jon Lester will take the mound for the defending World Champions as he tries to stop the possible sweep by the Yankees at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs are currently tied for first place in the National League Central with the Cincinnati Reds. The Northsiders are trying not to lose their fifteenth game this season as they didn't lose 15 games until May 31 last season.
