This is the Jon Lester every Red Sox fan expected this season. Lester pitched a perfect game into the sixth inning giving up a double to Michael Young with one out. Lester retired the first 19 batters of the game and finished with a complete game win allowing one run...

Change can often be difficult. The Boston Red Sox lineup adapted quite easily. Boston collected 11 hits including two homers from Kevin Youkilis, a three-run shot by Dustin Pedroia and a solo-blast from Jason Bay to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-2. Terry Francona...

Rocco Baldelli hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Then, in the the fifth inning, Baldelli crashed into a wall trying to catch a foul ball. That’s exactly how Boston’s game went as well. The Red Sox were on pace for a win with a 3-1 cushion over...

Jon Lester has a case of the Dice-K syndrome. Symptoms – Solid pitching in the first few innings, ability to work out of jams, get strikeouts when needed early on, erupt in one particular inning. Result tonight – A five run fifth inning capped off by a...

Buy low, sell high. Brad Penny continues to fulfill, quite possibly, the oldest investment cliche ever. Penny improved to 5-1 pitching 5 1/3 innings, yielding six hits, three runs, no walks and seven strikeouts. Jonathan Papelbon almost lost the game for Penny giving...

Toronto may sit atop the A.L. East Divisional standings presently, but one thing is for sure. The Blue Jays haven’t done anything against the teams that matter most. Boston is 3-0 against Toronto with their recent sweep of the Blue Jays. The New York Yankees...

David Ortiz is finally smiling again. And so is Red Sox Nation. In the fifth inning after Jason Varitek belted his second homer of the game, Big Papi ended his 149 at-bat homerless drought with a two-run home run to center field. Then the Red Sox launched two more big...
