Lester, Offense Pace Sox to 8-3 Win

How much money will it take to re-sign Jon Lester if he keeps pitching like he is? Lester went 7 innings against the Rangers, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits. The 1-2-3 part of the Red Sox order was very productive, including Big Papi's 380th HR as a Red Sox. And the Sox win 8-3, a nice bounce-back after being shutout by Yu Darvish the night before. While no team in the AL East is running away with the division the Sox have at least done enough to stay with the pack until they can put consistent performances together back to back to back. If Lackey can be Lackey today, the Sox have a great chance to win this series after a terrible start. That would be impressive to me, especially against a Rangers team that usually gives them trouble.
