It’s the fourth homer of Lester’s career, and he’s actually turned into a good hitting pitcher after starting his career 0-for-66 at the plate.
The 37-year-old southpaw also turned back the clock on the mound, tossing seven scoreless innings (after entering with a 5.54 ERA).

An Ohtani-esque night for Lester in a blowout Nats win.
