Lester whiffs 6 in third spring start

5 years agoAndy Martinez

Jon Lester struck out 6 White Sox hitters Friday in his third spring training start.

The Cubs veteran southpaw allowed a pair of singles to begin Friday’s game, but came right back with 3 straight whiffs through the heart of the White Sox order. 

He was then touched up for a run in the 2nd inning on a Luis Robert RBI double, but still tallied 3 more strikeouts before being removed with 2 outs in the 3rd inning. He finished with 61 pitches in his 2.2 innings.

Lester has a 5.40 ERA and 10 strikeouts this spring in 6.2 innings.
