After coming off a no-hitter in his last start Jon Lester was mediocre in his efforts against the Oakland Athletics as Boston lost 6-3.
Lester only lasted 5 innings, yielding 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struck out 3 batters.
The only lead Boston had in the game came on a David Ortiz solo homerun (11) in the first inning.
Goat of the Game: Red Sox Bullpen
Can they not give up runs? Craig Hansen and Javier Lopez both gave up one run in their relief appearances. When is the bleeding going to stop here?
Preview of Next Game: Colon x2
Colon looked ok in his first start going 5 innings. I am wondering if he will be stretched out more and if the Red Sox can touch King Felix. We shall see.
