Over his last two starts,
John Lackey is looking like the guy who won Game 7 of the 2002 World Series for the Angels. Tonight, Lackey threw seven stellar innings giving up just two hits and one unearned run in
Boston's 8-1 triumph over Terry Francona's Indians.
Mike Carp provided the early offense, breaking out of a monster slump with a three-run home run.
Dustin Pedroia went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and
Jacoby Ellsbury knocked in two more. But this cold, rainy night belonged to Lackey, who improved to 3-4 on the year and lowered his ERA to an outstanding 2.72.
