Finally the Red Sox are getting the pitching they thought they'd be getting when they put this team together. Lester threw a gem last night throwing 7 scoreless innings letting up only 1 hit with 11 K's. Lester seems to need 1 big start to get him going every year, this could very well be the start that puts him back on the track of being the best lefty in the AL.
The Sox bat were once again basically silent the whole game. It was McDonald, who ended up being the savior in this game. He scored on a sac fly by Pedroia in the 6th then hit an RBI single in the 7th to put the Sox up 2-0.
It is really nice to see that the Sox bullpen does come together when they aren't overworked. Bard and Papelbon combined to throw 2 scoreless innings, and Papelbon locked down his 7th save of the season.
