Game 65: Sox 14 Bluebirds 1

Hoo-hum. Another day, another Sox blowout. Sox again put up crooked numbers against the Jays and this time get an ace performance out of Lester. The runs came from, well... everyone. Gonzalez, Pedroia, Ortiz, and Youkilis all had home runs. Ellsbury extended his streak getting 2 hits and Saltalamacchia had 3 hits. Drew was the only starter without a hit and looked hopeless at the plate with 4 Ks. Who knows how many runs would have scored without that black hole in the lineup.

Lester was fantastic today working with efficiency. Eight innings, 2 hits, 1 BB, and 8 Ks on 102 pitches. The only run came off of a solo shot by Bautista, your MLB HR leader. The Sox did a good job of containing Bautista during the series and without him, the Jays lack very much punch.

A great series overall; you're almost disappointed to be having a day off tomorrow. But that they do. Next up are the Rays in Tampa. Should be a tough series but we're coming in hot.
