Lester has dominated the Yankees in two starts this season, compiling a 1.13 ERA while winning both. He tossed a shutout at Yankee Stadium on July 3, limiting the Yankees to five hits and two walks while striking out eight in Boston's 7-0 victory.The left-hander, though, is now trying to bounce back from his worst start of the season. Lester lasted a career-low 2 1-3 innings in Saturday's 11-0 loss to Toronto, allowing a career high-tying seven earned runs with eight hits and two walks.
aren't all sox backers. i had 2units on the RL that morning. ever since the break, he's been very consistent, has gone 7+ innings during the stretch before the bump in toronto ... the last time lester pitched in NY, he got a shutout on 7/3 and went the distance again last month with 9-2 win. boston is a good underdog play.
