Jon Lester took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night, eventually losing it on an infield single from Jhonny Peralta. Some people are blaming Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, who could have thrown Peralta out if he fielded the hard-hit ball cleanly. Others have taken aim at Cubs broadcaster Len Casper.
Casper, the Cubs’ television play-by-play announcer, mentioned in the sixth inning that Lester had a “no-hitter” going through six. Naturally, fans accused him of jinxing Lester. Casper took to Twitter to defend himself.
