Cubs add Soler, Cardinals go with Moss in Game 2
The Chicago Cubs have made some adjustments to their Game 2 lineup as they get set to square off against St. Louis Cardinals southpaw Jaime Garcia on Saturday.
Jorge Soler and Austin Jackson will replace Kyle Schwarber and Chris Coghlan in the outfield, while Miguel Montero will squat behind the dish after David Ross started at catcher for the Cubs in Game 1.

Manager Joe Maddon will also revert back to his approach of batting the pitcher out of the eighth spot and shortstop Addison Russell ninth, after trying a more traditional lineup in Game 1.
