The Red Sox score just 1 run against Tampa for the 2nd straight day, but this time it's enough for the win thanks to an absolute gem of a game from Jon Lester. Lester goes 8, allowing just 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 10. Jonathan Papelbon pitches a 1-2-3 9th for his 37th run.

Andy Sonnanstine pitched ok for the Devil Rays despite taking the loss. His one mistake was a ball that Jason Varitek deposited in the seats to start the 5th.

great in relief and recorded his 37th save.

Lester said. 'I had a good fastball, I felt I could throw it by everybody
tonight.'
