« Lester in the fourth

Timlin in to work the seventh inning »
May 29, 2007
Lester threw 16 pitches (11 for strikes) and allowed a single with two strikeouts. He has reached 79 pitches (50 for strikes) and is done for the night. The left-hander had complete control of the strike zone tonight and his off-speed pitches were nasty.
Overall he worked five scoreless innings, and allowed just four hits. He struck out six and walked only two.
RECAP:
First inning: 18 pitches (10 strikes) and two hits.
Second inning: 14 pitches (seven strikes).
Third inning: 11 pitches (nine strikes).
Fourth inning: 20 pitches (13 strikes) and allowed a double.
Fifth inning: 16 pitches (11 strikes) and allowed a single.
Lester topped out at 95 MPH on the gun, and his breaking stuff fell off the table at 70.
It was another solid outing.
