Jon Lester News
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jon Lester allowed four runs in five innings of work on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Lester gave up six hits and four walks while striking out four. He ended up with a no decision in a game the Cardinals ultimately lost. The veteran lefty will head into the postseason with a 4.71 ERA.
St. 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.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jon Lester struggled in his first start with his new team on Tuesday. It was Lester's first appearance since his last Nationals start on July 24. On Tuesday, he pitched five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four. He gave up five runs in the first inning but was ultimately able to settle in and give his new team a little bit of length. It was definitely not the start Lester wanted to start his Cardinals career, but he'll take a combined 3-6 record and 5.38 ERA into his next outing.
