Lester's Performance Not Enough
The Red Sox came into today's game against the Indians looking for some momentum to take into their weekend series against the Yankees. Jon Lester did all he could to get the Sox their first win in this afternoon's start, holding the Indians scoreless over 7 innings while striking out 9. His strong performance was not enough thanks to Fausto Carmona.
Carmona came into the game needing to rebound from his awful debut that lasted 3 long innings in which the White Sox scored 10 runs off of him. He came back today and held the other Sox scoreless with 2 hits over 7 solid innings.
The Indians used small ball to get their run off of fireballer Daniel Bard in the 8th. The Red Sox comeback fell short when Darnell McDonald was picked off rounding second on a JD Drew single. The 1-0 final puts the Red Sox at 0-6 on the season.
Perhaps they can claim a moral victory with Lester's solid start, but the Red Sox leave Cleveland still seeking their first win of the year.
