The Red Sox have a doubleheader today. The first game has Jon Lester going against James Shields. Shields has had a hell of a year (11-9 2.80 ERA), but has struggled throughout his career at Fenway (1-7 with a 7.71 ERA in eight starts).
Lester is having a good year, but not a great year. One thing he has done is pitch well during the day going 4-0 with a 1.60 ERA in six day starts. Lester has lost his last two starts, and the Rays have been hot of late winning 7 of their last 10 games.
One thing all Boston fans would like to see is Adrian Gonzalez get his power swing back. He has still been hitting for average, but hasn't had the power stroke (no HRs in August).
Red Sox win 5-3
Player of the Game: Gonzalez
Game starts at 1:05pm
