Jon Lester: notorious slugger.
Wait, what?
The former Boston Red Sox ace turned Chicago Cub flashed his offensive clout, registering the third multi-hit game of his career, and launched his third career home run in the process Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lester went yard in the third inning — check it out:

Jon Lester's 3rd career HR.
He's hit 1 in each of the last 3 seasons.
He has 6 hits this season in 15 games. He had 7 hits in 31 games last year. pic.twitter.com/3D1lzhjeXk

Lester is 6-for-24 at the plate this season.
Oh, and he also picked up his ninth of the season, going 6 2/3 innings in a 10-4 win at Wrigley Field.
