Red Sox are looking for their 5th win in a row, and on paper there looks like there is little chance they aren't going to get it. Nick Blackburn takes on Lester, and that could be bad news for the Twins.
Blackburn (7-9, 4.58 ERA) has posted an 11.68 ERA while losing his last three starts. His command has been way off in his last two, as he has 11 walks over 9 2/3 innings. That's bad news when you are going against a team like the Red Sox, who love to walk.
Meanwhile, Lester is 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA in three starts since coming off the DL. He is also 5-1 with a 1.76 ERA in his last six starts on the road.
Look for the Red Sox to finish off the series in a big way. Lester will cruise most likely pitching 7 or 8 innings, and the Red Sox to score at least 7 runs.
Red Sox win 8-2
Player of the Game: Lester
Game starts at 8:10pm
