Lester lets loose

After giving up five earned runs in six innings in his last start, Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester appears to be back on track after throwing six innings against the Toronto Blue Jays today, giving up one run and striking out 12. Yowza.

The Sox won 8-2, and if Lester gets it going in the rotation (he has a 4-5 record with 5.65 ERA), the pitching becomes real ferocious for Boston.

The next test will be for tomorrow's starting pitcher, Dice-K. Will he be able to shake off that post-World Baseball Classic hangover? Are we going to see Dice-8.82 ERA? We'll see.
