Jon Lester Has His Best Start As A Cardinal On Monday
3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jon Lester had his best start since being traded on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Lester earned a win and a quality start, pitching 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on one hit (a solo home run) and two walks while striking out five. Kyle Farmer hit a solo shot in the second inning, and it was the only damage against Lester, who improved to 5-6 and lowered his ERA to 5.05. He hasn't been great as a Cardinal, but he's still Jon Lester and certainly seems to have some good starts left in him. He's an okay streaming candidate against weaker opponents.
