Cubs 10, Pirates 4: Jon Lester does it all

Seven runs in the first inning! No team had done that since... last night:

Cubs & A's: First pair to do it since... oh... yesterday.

Rays & Angels: First time multiple teams scored 7+ in 1st inning on same day since Apr 20 2013 by Angels (W 10-0) and Indians (W 19-6).https://t.co/tYPZNeU4ro— Doug Kern (@dakern74) July 13, 2019

As noted, the Athletics also put up a seven-spot vs. the White Sox in the first inning Saturday, but here we’re concerned with the Cubs, whose seven-run inning helped lead them to a 10-4 win over the Pirates.
