Jon Lester takes seventh loss Thursday

by Connor Rooney | Fri, Aug 2nd 8:24am EDT

Jon Lester (9-7) was saddled with the loss Thursday against the Cardinals. He allowed five runs on nine hits and no walks across five innings. He struck out six.

Fantasy Impact:

Lester was battered around a bit Thursday, and he just couldn't settle into a groove. This is his first start giving up five or more runs since June 13, so it's a bit of an outlier. He has a 3.86 ERA overall, to go along with a 1.34 WHIP and 116 strikeouts in 119 innings. He'll take on the Athletics at home in his next start, scheduled for Tuesday.
