Who says Jon Lester can't throw to first accurately?

The Chicago Cubs left-hander, who's long struggled with pickoff attempts at first base, showed off his trademark move Tuesday after fielding a ground ball that became stuck in the webbing of his glove.

Following a brief struggle, Lester removed his glove and tossed it to Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who wisely threw his own mitt to the ground to secure the 1-3 putout on Pirates outfielder Starling Marte.
