DENVER -- Now that the series has shifted to the National League, there's no more designated hitter. So, that means the Red Sox pitchers have to hit. Right now Boston's staff is in the cage and Josh Beckett is putting on a hitting display.
Red Sox lefty Jon Lester, who will pitch Game Four on Sunday, was informed when he walked into the clubhouse earlier today that he needed to take some swings.
''For me, it’s a little nerve-racking,'' he said. ''It should be fun. I hit a little bit last year. . . I’m not expecting to go up there and drive in any runs. If I go up there and get a bunt down then I’ve done my job. I just have to concentrate on pitching and getting outs.''
Daisuke Matsuzaka, hitting right-handed, isn't exactly showing Kaz Matsui skills at the plate. Dice-K is having a lot of problems in the cage. Lester, a left-handed hitter, has a nice fluid swing.
