Before their game started, the Red Sox had the news that the Yankees had lost 7-4 to the Royals. Unfortuntely, the Rays rolled past Cleveland, 6-3. Jon Lester held the M's to no baserunners through 5 and 1/3 innings, but Jeremy Saunders cranked a two-run blast. Seattle managed to add 3 more runs to win 5-1. The only bright spots for the Sox were Jon Lester striking out a career high 13 batters in 7 and 2/3 innings and Big Papi Ortiz powering a solo home run. Tonight, the Red Sox try to take the series behind Daisuke Matsuzaka, looking for his third straight win. In Red Sox news, Victor Martinez is optimistic, saying he will return on Monday.
Lester lost his perfect game bid on an error by Eric Patterson.
