After a stellar start to the homestand, the Sox look to Jon Lester to keep things moving for them during this sports filled weekend in Boston. With thanks to
Big Papi for the electrifying performance that gave even more heat to the warm Massachusetts evening, we turn to redsox.com for their take on the pitching
matchup.
Good Luck, Jon and keep those bats on the front burner boys!

Scouting Report: Rangers: Jennings has lost all three starts this season, and he allowed six earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on Monday. When manager Ron Washington was asked whether he was concerned, he said, "Not yet. The next time it?s time to give him the ball, we'll give it to him." Jennings has a 2-0 career record against the Red Sox, but he hasn?t pitched against them since 2004. He won his only start at Fenway Park, allowing three hits and no runs in seven innings -- but that was on June 11, 2002. Jennings was 16-8 that season. Red Sox: Lester is growing frustrated with his inability to pitch deep into games. Control continues to be the problem. In his last
start, Lester walked five and allowed four runs over 4 1/3 innings. He threw 97 pitches, 55 of which were strikes. This will be Lester's first
start against the Rangers since his Major League debut in June 2006. In that game, Lester gave up five hits and three runs over 4 1/3 innings.

Not a good start. The sound is so bad on the TWC decided to show the game on, I guess I will watch the B's and just check in
once in awhile.
But I'm still excited!!!!
