Lester Gets Roughed Up Again

The Red Sox took an early lead in last night's game when Youk hit a home run in the second but Lester than gave up 5 runs in the bottom of the inning. Jack Cust and Nomar each had home runs off of Lester and the A's were able to get 10 hits off of him. The Red Sox bats did nothing to help the team catch up. Youk was the only Red Sox to have more than 1 hit and the bottom third of the order went hit-less. The team is now 2-5 on the season with not much to hang your hat on. Lester has struggled in both of his starts, Big Papi has turned into Little Papi, and the much improved bullpen is not looking very improved.

The Good: Youk 2-4 with a home run
The Bad: everyone else on the Sox that played in the game
The Ugly: Lester 10 hits 6 earned runs in 6 innings

Red Sox Lose 8-2 BOX SCORE
