For the first time in a long time, it felt like April yesterday. Was it because of the lovely weather? Inexcusable amount of bunnies I saw (don't ask)? People trying to do their taxes? Nah, just Jon Lester looking horrible on the mound as he went 2.2 IP, 7 ER, 7 Hits, 3 BBs, 4 Ks. He even gave up a two-run blast to opposing pitcher Daniel Norris - the first ever HR hit by an AL pitcher in Wrigley Field. Lester just didn't look comfortable, which is majorly disappointing after holding a 2.20 ERA, 2.09 FIP, and 2.82 xFIP across his previous 11 starts. I have to believe this is just a bump in the road and not a sinking pothole that will devour Lester and his "what are baserunners?" Jeopardy attitude. He gets the Indians next and he should bounce back.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
