Jon Lester looked like his old self Sunday at Wrigley Field. In more ways than one.
Pitching for the first time in an intrasquad scrimmage since the Cubs began preseason workouts, Lester — who’s not as far along as most of the other members of the starting rotation — threw 2u2153 innings and appeared to be in full command.
The lefty struck out Albert Almora Jr. and Kyle Schwarber in a 1-2-3 first inning. Then he struck out Jason Heyward and David Bote in what should’ve been a 1-2-3 second inning.
