Strong finish for Lester
He finished with 117 pitches and hit 95 mph in his last inning. No earned runs. One walk. In the final two innings, he struck out four and did not allow a ball out of the infield.
Now that was an ace-like performance.
Still 2-1 Sox into the eighth.

While Lester started out a little shakey, he just became amazing as the game progressed. I've been impressed with him all season, but his performance tonight was absolutely ace-like. I was at game one of the ALDS last year (Beckett's four-hit shut-out), and Lester's game tonight has been almost as incredible. Let's hope we move on through the post-season and get to see him just CRUSH people again.
