Jon Lester takes the loss on Opening Night

Jon Lester did not have his best stuff Sunday, as he and the Cubs fell to the Cardinals, 3-0, on Opening Night. Lester went 4.1 innings, giving up eight hits, two walks and three earned runs. On the plus side, Lester did manage to strike out six batters.

Fantasy Impact:

Lester did not have much control, as he threw only 57 strikes out of his 89 pitches. The good news is the left-hander came out of the appearance unscathed after concerns of a dead arm this spring. Lester will look to have a better performance when he takes the hill Sunday in Colorado.
