John Lester Shines as Red Sox Win 4th-in-a-Row
Curt who? The way Kason Gabbard has been pitching, and the way John Lester pitched in his return to the Major Leagues last night after defeating cancer, it seems like Curt Schilling can take all the time he needs to rehab. You have to imagine that Julian Tavarez’s time with the team is numbered with the two kids pitching well (Julian - can you say Pawtucket?).
The line on Lester: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 SO, 3.0 ERA

Equally as important as Lester’s return was the 4th Sox win in-a-row, helping them to keep pace and 7.5 games ahead of the hot Yankees. Sox go again tonight against Cleveland - Matsuzaka vs. Sabathia (game 2 of 4 against the Indians). The Yankees are in KC for game 2 of their 4 game series against the Royals.
