Jon Lester picks up eighth win of the year

by Nathaniel Schwartz | Fri, Aug 14th 6:09am EDT

Jon Lester pitched for six innings in a blowout win over the Brewers. He gave up two earned runs off of seven hits and two walks. Lester managed 10 strikeouts, the fourth time he has struck out double digit batters this season.

Fantasy Impact:

A double digit strikeout day is always going to help fantasy owners regardless of format, but this performance is especially nice considering the poor three strikeout performance that Lester put up last time out. This is Lester's third win in a row and his fourth out of his last five starts. The Cubs' offense is really clicking right now so all Cubs' pitchers are a good bet to pick up a win on any given night.
