Jon Lester dominates Red to pick up the win Monday
by Brad Camara | Tue, Jul 28th 4:04am EDT
Jon Lester (1-0) allowed no hits and one walk while striking out one in five scoreless innings in Monday's 8-7 win over the Reds. He earned his first win of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Lester was brilliant in Monday's win. He surrendered one walk in the first inning, and then shut down the Reds lineup the rest of night. The 36-year-old threw a total of 76 pitches, 56 for strikes. Lester will look to keep things rolling and can be used as a streamer in Saturday's matchup against the Pirates.
