God 2, Red Sox 1
You see, this is what happens when you bench J.D. Drew in your previous game.
It was an odd day for Jon Lester, who gave up several seeing-eye ground ball type hits that didn’t end up hurting him, but also gave up two towering blasts which were, of course, the sole source of run support of Ricky Nolasco.
Nolasco allowed only 2 baserunners in his 5 innings of work. Not bad for a guy with an ERA in Dice-K territory.
Just an FYI: the weather report for the next 3 days is looking grim. So, don’t be surprised to see a double header this weekend.
