In the most promising development of the Spring, Sox ace
Jon Lester went seven scoreless innings against Philadelphia today. Lester struck out 10 Phillies and gave up just two hits while walking none. This was a dominant performance from the man Boston needs to have an epic season. On the offensive side of the ledger, Dustin Pedroia clouted his second home run of the Grapefruit League season, while Cody Ross went yard for the third time. Minor leaguer Mauro Gomez sent his second round-tripper out of the park.
The 6-0 Red Sox win was played in 2 hours and 18 minutes. Sox trade target Joe Blanton was waxed for the loss.
