Chicago Cubs ace Jon Lester failed to factor in the decision during Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, lasting just four innings due to a heightened pitch count.
He allowed three runs over the four frames but also racked up nine strikeouts and pushing him to 2,000 for his career. Lester is just the 25th left-handed pitcher in MLB to surpass that milestone, per MLB Stat of the Day.
While Lester's outing didn't last long, he was in the game long enough to launch his first career home run.
