Chicago Cubs ace Jon Lester gave up nine runs in the second inning on Thursday afternoon against the Reds. He threw 40 pitches during the inning and motioned to the trainers that something was wrong after giving up a RBI double to Eugenio Sarez. It was the 11th batter of the inning.
Lester walked off the field and Mike Montgomery entered the game. We will update when we get more information on Lester's status from Cubs officials. Check out the video below. The official signal for "I've had enough, let's call it a blister." @Cubs #CubsTalk pic.twitter.com/WRa5U9mPV3
