Jon Lester looked super.
After a night off Adrian Gonzalez got back to punishing the ball with 3 hits including a homer to right. Youk followed suit with a big fly to left to go back-to-back. Saltie continued his hot hitting with 2 doubles after homering the night before. Sox offense scored 6 runs in the last 2 innings to break the game open.
As Jerry Remy said, the story of this game is Jon Lester's dominating performance over 8 innings. His location was good & his pitches were crisp with good break. This might have been his best game of 2011.
Sometimes a little rest in mid-season does a body well. We can only hope for the same result with Clay Buchholz.
