Chicago Cubs: Jon Lester fails when the team needed him most
The Chicago Cubs needed Jon Lester to come through on Sunday. Instead, he fell apart in a critical game against the rival Milwaukee Brewers.
Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers was a game that the Chicago Cubs needed to have. They simply could not lose three of four to the Brewers, one of several teams they are battling for a playoff spot. They had their ace Jon Lester on the mound, who’s come through for them many times over the past few years. Lester could have led the Cubs towards a big step forward in their quest to make the postseason.
