Jon Lester Homers, Throws Seven Shutout Innings
3 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Jon Lester had his best game of the year against the Miami Marlins Monday, throwing seven shutout innings with just six hits and no walks allowed while striking out seven batters. As if that wasn't enough, Lester also went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two runs scored at the plate. Lester lowered his ERA to 4.99 after this outing, with a 1.65 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 70 1/3 innings. He's still not usable in most formats, but fantasy managers who happened to have him active for this one will certainly be pleased with their good fortune.
