Lester Shines Again Against Orioles, Sox Win 9-3
Jon Lester pitched seven strong innings to remain undefeated against Baltimore in 12 career decisions, Kevin Youkilis homered and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Orioles 9-3 on Saturday night.
Boston has won 17 of its last 19 games in Fenway Park against the Orioles.
J.D. Drew had three hits and drove in pair of runs with a first-inning double after connecting for a pair of solo homers in Boston's win on Friday night.
Lester is 12-0 against Baltimore in 15 starts, matching Red Faber's mark as the best start to a career against the Orioles organization. Faber did it in 1914-16, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Lester (10-3) gave up a run and five hits, striking out seven and walking one in his 10th win in his last 11 decisions.
