Jon Lester, once again, brings a calm and (almost) drama free win to the Sox, after Tuesday night’s craziness…Going 7.1 innings, he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits (including 1 homer) while walking 1 and striking out 6. He threw 108 pitches, 76 for strikes in the outing.
Unfortunately, Mike Timlin (like [...]

One would think that 10 runs in the 1st inning (including not 1, but TWO 3-run shots from David Ortiz) would be enough of a cushion for knuckleballer Charlie Zink…
Think again: Charlie gave up 8 runs in 4.1 IP, while walking 1 and striking out 1, throwing 85 pitches, 56 for strikes…
One [...]

Wow…How long HAS it been since the Sox won a road trip? April? While I would have liked a better record than 4-3–but we’ll take what we can get…
