Well, Jenn, like I told you last evening over the remnants of dinner,tonight Lester looked like the guy we've gotten used to seeing on the mound. He completely left last weeks' abortion against the Jays in the trash where it belongs. Against the Rays last night, he went seven strong innings, allowing just a pair of harmless singles while striking out ten. True, he did allow five freebies and hurled three wild ones--THREE!, but even then, he quickly recovered and pitched. I don't think you or anyone following this blog needs me to again explain what I mean by 'pitching', so I'll leave enough said.
After he left, Bard did a quick inning of shutout ball, followed by The Laser who, following in his recent renaissance, struck out the side. While he did allow two walks, he quickly neutralized both.Got his 33d save in the process.
Offensively, Martinez handled most of the lifting with a pair of solo shots to the cheaps. Papi also doubled and scored the other run on a Lowrie hit.
And we move closer to the Rays and Mr. Hankie's Yankees.
