A couple weeks ago, Bob wrote in a rant piece "I told you Lester was good", well after last night I'm starting to wonder if our "ace" is turning back into the Jon Lester of the past 2 years. In his previous start Jon Lester walked 6, in this start Lester walked only 2, but gave up 6 runs. He needs to be a lot more consistent if the Red Sox want to make the playoffs.
But with Lester sucking, the Sox did have a chance to win the game as they tied the game up and even took the lead at the top of the 7th. But then the bottom of the 7th happened, Junichi Tazawa surrendered a two-run homer to Encarnacion. Then Joel Hanrahan came on for the bottom of the 8th and gave up a run of his own. I guess that puts any discussion to bed on who are closer will be.
This loss, sucks. But hopefully the Sox can shake it off.
P.S. How good is David Ortiz, he's like reincarnation of Barry Bonds, it's ridiculous.
