Jon Lester Tosses Seven Shutout Innings Against Dodgers
7 years agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester threw seven shutout innings against the Dodgers Wednesday. Lester was a bit inefficient in this one as he threw a season-high 119 pitches while walking three and striking out just one. The Dodgers were hitting the ball hard all afternoon, but Lester got a lot of help from his defense. Lester has settled into a groove, as he has gone six or more innings in seven straight starts, picking up a quality start in six of those seven starts. He now sits at a 2.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 70:31 K/BB ratio in 90 innings.
