It was an epiphany for two beleaguered elements of Red Sox pitching. Jon Lester salvaged the honor of the starters with a brilliant seven-inning performance, yielding no runs, just five hits and striking out seven. For the bullpen, the trio of Franklin Morales, Vicente Padilla and Alfredo Aceves combined for two shutout innings—giving up just one hit.
The result?
A stunning 1-0 win over the White Sox and a great nine-inning outing by Jake Peavey. Only Adrian Gonzalez was able to pierce the scoring veil, singling in the only run of the contest. The Red Sox are now dead even, at .500 (10-10), have won six straight, and are just 3 games out of the AL East lead.
