Jon Lester Drummed Out by Mets in Shortest Outing of Career

1.1 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

On Saturday, Jon Lester was named the NL Pitcher of the Month for June. On Sunday, he vomited up the line you see above. And the crazy thing is that almost all of the damage was done in the 2nd inning.

Curtis Granderson, the second batter of the game for the Mets, hit a solo shot to tie the game in the bottom of the first, but Lester cruised through the frame otherwise. When Wilmer Flores led off the 2nd with a homer there was still a sense that it was a bit of a fluke.
