The Chicago Cubs are one win away from the World Series, and Jon Lester is back among the pantheon of postseason studs.
On Thursday, the Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 at Chavez Ravine to grab a 3-2 lead in the National League Championship Series. Game 6 will be played Saturday at Wrigley Field.
For his part, Lester twirled seven innings of five-hit, one-run ball with one walk and six strikeouts. He got the win, moving his 2016 playoff record to 2-0 and his ERA to 0.86.
Nothing is over until the Cubs bust their century-plus championship drought, as Lester himself noted.
