4 years agoChicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is set to bat leadoff on Saturday against Pirates' left-hander Tyler Anderson. The Cubs seemed to want Contreras at the top of their lineup, with talk of him in the two-hole, though leadoff is a new thing for the veteran backstop, who has batted just six times at the very top of the lineup in his career. Right-handed batters have scored 172 runs and slugged 54 homers against Anderson in his career, so this is potentially a lucrative spot for Contreras on Saturday.--Tim Capurso
