Lester, Heyward power Cubs past Cleveland. MORE:
CLEVELAND — Jon Lester and the Cubs didn't let another of 2020's distractions slow them one bit.
Four years ago, Lester pitched three scoreless innings of relief in a drama-filled Game 7 of the World Series when the Cubs beat the Indians to win their first title since 1908. This start had been delayed by the postponements, but Lester said he was picked up by his teammates, who cheered like Little Leaguers from the dugout.
For the first time this year the Indians gave up more than four runs, ending the second-longest run to open a season. “They hurt us bad,” he said."They lied to us. They at here in front of you guys and publicly said things that they didn’t follow through on. It’s gonna be up to them. It really is. I’ll let them sit here and tell you how they’re gonna earn their trust back.
“I can’t promise this is going to go perfect,” he said."But I’m certainly going to give it the best shot I can.”
