Jon Lester went 7 innings and gave up only 2 hits yesterday, striking out eight. However, he lost due to lack of run support, which is especially amazing because LESTER HIMSELF GOT A HIT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YESTERDAY. Seriously, he’s now 1-68 on his career. That’s a .015 batting average.
So, for pitching well and getting the monkey off his back, Lester is the MVP of Yesterday. Standings after the jump, obviously:
