Jon Lester struck out nine, allowed an unlikely home run and the Cubs lost to the St. Louis Cardinals...
No, wait. That wasn't from Saturday night's game; it happened eight days before the first game of the National League Championship Series. Lester's performance in NLCS Game 1, a 4-2 Cubs loss to the Mets, wound up eerily similar to that NLDS Game 1 outing against the Cardinals.
The unlikely home run hit into the chilly night at Citi Field off Lester was hit by Daniel Murphy, who is making a habit of hitting homers this postseason.
