Lester making eighth start for Pawtucket tonight

Hello from Pawtucket, where the PawSox are hosting the Richmond Braves tonight.
Jon Lester is on the mound, making his eighth start for Pawtucket.

Manager Ron Johnson said prior to the game that the southpaw has no real restrictions except that Johnson plans to keep him ``right around that 100-pitch range.’’

Lester threw 15 pitches in the first inning. He got leadoff hitter Gregor Blanco to ground out to short and Martin Prado to hit a foul popup behind first that was caught by PawSox second baseman Joe McEwing.

Lester than gave up an infield hit to Brayan Pena, but got Graham Koonce to fly out to right to end the inning.
