I have to admit, I barely know that they won today given a way too busy day at work and just a few minutes on the bus ride home to check the score on my phone. I guess Lester pitched quite well, and the offense is continuing to do its job.
Big series coming up against the Phillies, a team that is not only good (like the Twins), but playing well recently (unlike the Twins). The pitching matchups:
Fri: Lackey v. Hamels
Sat: Matsuzaka v. Kendrick
Sun: Wakefield v. Halladay
Don't look super inspiring (that Saturday game looks like a fireworks explosion just waiting to happen), but winning 2 out of 3 doesn't look impossible if they win Friday night. Given the Red Sox have hit lefties fairly well so far this year (team OPS of 0.814 v. 0.794 for righties), there's reason to believe they'll win that game IF (and it's a big if) Lackey gives them a strong start. He really only needs to give them 6 good innings since the bullpen is rested thanks to Lester's CG tonight.
