Jon Lester gets blown up early in loss to Detroit

by Nathaniel Schwartz | Thu, Aug 20th 1:04pm EDT

Jon Lester had his worst start of the year after only lasting 2.2 innings against the Tigers. He gave up seven earned runs off of seven hits (three home runs) and three walks, but only struck out four batters.

Fantasy Impact:

This was Lester's shortest game of the season and also the most earned runs he had given up all season. Although Lester's overall numbers look very mediocre, he has pitched like a true ace in the second half of the season and this game should not be more than a blip on the radar.
