PHILADELPHIA - Jon Lester pitched seven shutout innings while Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon helped preserve the shutout with an inning apiece in a 3-0 win over the Phillies tonight before 45,160 at Citizens Bank Park.

The Sox tied their club record of six stolen bases - two for Crisp, and one for Sean Casey (yes, Sean Casey), Julio Lugo, Dustin Pedroia, and Jacoby Ellsbury. Crisp added a two-run homer and also scored the third run shortly after stealing third in the sixth.

Ellsbury stole his 34th base, but was caught stealing third for the first time in eight attempts.

Lester pitched seven innings, allowing six hits with one walk and five strikeouts. He threw 99 pitches.
