Lester done after outstanding outing

Jon Lester just closed out the fifth inning where he threw 25 pitches (16 strikes). The left-handed reached 84 pitches (56 strikes) and allowed just three hits with six strikeouts and no walks.

He was efficient and had command of the strike zone in only his fourth start this season.

Lester is slated to start again for Pawtucket on Wednesday before the Red Sox make a decision whether he'll join Boston or continue with the PawSox. Because he's been so good, it's likely he'll join the Sox' rotation.

His first and last pitch last night registered at 94 miles-per-hour.

Lester, thus far, has been the feel good story of the season! I can't wait 'til he comes to Fenway - the ovation will be mind boggling! It's just so nice to see him on the road back.
