Jon Lester has added a pitch to his arsenal with the Chicago Cubs.

David Ross says Lester has developed a "frontdoor two-seamer" that he didn't have during his time with the Boston Red Sox.

"It's been a great pitch for him," Ross said. "He's really pitching well. He's been outstanding on and off the field as the leader of our staff. He's pitched a lot better than the record [7-8] has indicated."
