Tough loss for the Red Sox last night, as Lester pitched well, but the Sox could not figure out Jhoulys Chacin. Boston had their chances, as Chacin walked 5 batters during his 6 2/3 innings, but they just couldn't pull off the clutch hit they needed.
Lester let up 6 hits, but none of them were hit very hard. Lester had been unbeaten in his last 11 starts, so he was due for some bad luck. Overall I am not too worried about this loss, as the Sox lineup is much different without Ortiz in it, and interleague play is stupid (even though the Sox are 10-3 in interleague play).
It doesn't get any easier tonight as Lackey goes against Ubaldo Jimenez, who is 13-1 so far this year.
With the loss Boston is now 1 1/2 games behind the Yankees for 1st place in the AL East (yet still tied with the Rays for 2nd place).
