Red Sox Sweep Another AL East Opponent

Jon Lester gave up 8 hits but only one run in tonight's win at the Fens. Tito yanked him in the 7th before the Jays could have the "big inning" that has plagued Lester all season. RR got the Sox out of a bases loaded jam with a long fly-ball out. Paps gave up 1 hit in the 9th but closed out the game without any damage.

The Red Sox offense was efficient with 4 runs off of 7 hits including a 2-run jack by J-Bay. Ells had another hit in the game and now has a 16 game hit streak.

With the sweep of the Blue Jays the Sox are now within 1/2 a game of first place as we head into inter-league play.
