The get Ellsbury back tonight, and this should be another win with Jon Lester going against Justin Masterson.
I have no idea what is going on between the Red Sox and Jacoby, but it doesn't matter right now. He is leading off tonight, and starting in CF. I doubt Cameron ever makes his way back, so Jacoby should have the jiob the rest of the season.
The hitting hero of last night (Lowell) will not be in the lineup tonight, V-Mart will be playing first and Cash will be catching. Right off the bat I don't like that, but whatever they should still win.
Masterson has been god awful this year. He has a 3-10 record with a 5.55 ERA. I always said he should've never been anything else other then a reliever, and it looks like I was right. He allowed career highs of eight earned runs and 13 hits in 5 1/3 innings of an 8-1 loss at Toronto on Friday.
Lester has also struggled lately, posting a 4.57 ERA while losing all three of his starts since the All-Star break, already the longest skid of his career. Yet, I'm not worried. This kid is a stud, and I think he is going to do something special tonight.
Sox win 10-0
Player of the Game: Jon Lester
Game starts at 7:10 on NESN.
