Lester Pitches Red Sox Past Rangers
[photogallerylink id=38696 align=right]Jon Lester pitched eight scoreless innings and the Boston Red Sox stopped the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 3-1 on a steamy Saturday night.
Lester (13-7) was sharp, scattering five hits while striking out five and walking none. He threw 109 pitches on a 102-degree evening.
Boston has scored only eight runs during Lester's last six starts. This time, he didn't need much support.
