The Chicago Cubs (51-26) continued their streak of red-hot baseball on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox (31-46), and this time- it was a former Red Sox star leading the way. Jon Lester pitched brilliantly, dominating Boston over eight innings and coming up with a key hit to lift the Cubs to a 2-0 victory, via MLB The Show 20.
The 36-year-old, who won two World Series championships with the Sox before winning his third with the Cubs in 2016, tossed a major throwback game. Lester allowed just two hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over his eight shutout innings.
