Dad --
While some people (Jays fans) may be thrilled that their nine game losing streak came to an end, for me (an avid Sox fan) it was a little less than thrilling... since the Red Sox were the team they beat in order to end that losing streak. Ah well.
But that was Friday and Sat. I want to talk about Sunday and the thrilling 8-2 win over the Jays to prevent them sweeping us. Lester was great. He had a touchy first inning when he gave up a solo shot to match Youkilis', but after that he was lights out.
Did you know Lester dished out a career high 12 strikeouts over his six innings pitched? It was pretty awesome to watch, especially considering Lester has been less than amazing this season. Unlike his previous outings, Lester managed to get through the fifth inning without giving up a run and then cruised through the sixth and his 115th pitch with no problem. It was great.
A couple other noteworthy moments of the evening were Youkilis' two home runs and Pedroia's three run shot in the fourth to really get the ball rolling. After the last two games at Roger's Centre, this game was definitely much more fun to watch.
Tomorrow it's off to Detroit to face the leaders of the AL Central. Think we can knock them down a peg or two?
