Game 65: Is Jon Lester Back?

Jon Lester takes the hill tonight at Wrigley after striking out nine hitters in seven innings in his last start. This is significant not only because it was his highest single game total this season, but because strike outs have been conspicuously missing from his game this season. The return of Jon Lester as a dominant pitcher would certainly be a welcome sight. Will we see more of that tonight?
