Jon Lester pitched a seven-inning complete game this afternoon as the Pawtucket Red Sox beat the Norfolk Tides, 5-1, in the first game of today's double-header in Virginia.

Lester (1-1) took a big step back toward Boston by surrendering just four hits, walking one and striking out one. He threw 87 pitches. He gave up a home run to Luis Montanez to lead off the sixth inning.

David Murphy and Bobby Scales each had three hits for Pawtucket. Murphy hit a solo home run in the seventh inning.

Former PawSox pitcher Tim Kester (3-5) took the loss for Norfolk.
