The Red Sox winning streak has ended at one. Jon Lester looked OK until the 5th when the wheels came off. He walked Kapler to start then inning and then gave up a single. A bunt scored a run. Lester looked like he would get out of the inning until Pena hit a deep homer to center making it 5-1. The Sox had trouble getting anything going against Kazmir but loaded the bases against the Rays pen in the 8th. Balfour came in to face Lowrie with the bases juiced. Jed struck out to end the rally and the Sox then went quietly in the 9th. On a side note, Youk’s errorless streak for ’09 came to an end with a throwing error.
The Good: Youk. Went 3-4 in the game.
The Bad: Lester. 8 hits, 5 earned runs in the game
The Ugly: Lopez. 4 hits and 1 run in 1 inning
