Jon lester (8-3) had another strong outing. 6ip. 6ks 1 earned and only 1 walk. Bringing his ERA down to 3.03 for the season. But was saddled with the loss mainly because there was a rookie walking out from the other dugout that seemed to have the number of the Sox hitters tonight. Chacin did get into trouble in the 3rd and 7th loading the bases each time but escaping unscathed. The Sox were able to muster one run in the 9th but it was too little too late after Okajima gave up a run in the 8th. We also saw the end of Dustin’s 10 game hit streak but he did manage two free passes. Adrian Beltre keeps swinging a hot bat with two more hits and scoring the only run tonight for visitors.
Word on the injury front is that J.D. is the closest to returning to the line up. Possibly Thursday, after tweaking his hamstring over the weekend.
Josh Beckett threw from the mound at Fenway yesterday. Throwing 42 pitches (all fastballs) and another 55 today at coors field, all of his repertoire included. Beckett is scheduled to throw a simulated start on Saturday in San Francisco, after which he will fall into a routine of pitching every 5 days.
Jacoby Ellsbury has traveled to Arizona tend to his injured ribs. Still looking like a post all-star return for Jake.
Hermida is still feeling some discomfort in his ribs but is taking part in activities(no hitting yet). No time table for his return.
Great pitching match up to look forward to tomorrow as the MLB leader in wins goes for the Rockies.
John Lackey (8-3 4.53)
Vs.
Ubaldo Jimenez (13-1, 1.15) wow……
