Jon Lester lit up in his third spring start

by Dale Redman | Tue, Mar 17th 12:07am EDT

Making his third start of the spring, Cubs left-hander Jon Lester was roughed up by the Padres in his three and a third innings of work. Lester allowed six earned runs, seven hits, one walk and two home runs. He did manage to strikeout four before being pulled.

Fantasy Impact:

Lester had not allowed a run in his five innings of work so far this spring. He did not have his usual command Monday, as he only threw 44 of his 70 pitches for strikes. Everyone has an occasional rough start. No need to worry about the Cubs ace just yet.
