Jon Lester & David Ortiz finished off a great May by leading the Sox to an 8-1 victory last night over the Royals. Lester pitched 7 strong & Big Papi added another homer to his collection for the month.
Their 18 wins in May keep the Sox within striking distance of Toronto & New York. Tampa Bay has a comfortable lead, but I don't expect the Rays to play .700 + ball all season.
June's schedule will include the return of interleague play & the return of Manny Ramirez to Fenway Park. That ought to be interesting to say the least.
Whether it's Tampa Bay or Kansas City the Sox must look for consistency in June, night to night, building on a good month of May. Another 18 win month will keep them in the hunt heading into the All-Star break.
