3 years agoSt. 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.--David A Marcillo - RotoBaller
