Jon Lester pitches well at Fenway and the snakes didn’t disprove that tonight. Arizona was able to get on the board with a two-run homer in the second but that would be all they would score in the game.
Dustin Pedroia got things started for the offense with a two-run homer in the first. The Sox got two more runs in the third and Youk hit a two-run tater of his own in the seventh to put the game out of reach.
Bard pitched a scoreless eighth and Paps picked up his 15th save after coming in for Ram Ram with two outs in the ninth.
