Minnesota Twins vs. Boston Red Sox Thursday, August 2, 7:10 PM EDT, Fenway Park Sam Deduno, RHP Stats 2-0, 3.13 ERA Last 3 starts Deduno turned in the best start of his young career on July 28 against Cleveland, holding the Indians to just one run on two hits over seven innings. The right-hander still needs to find better fastball command, though, as he walked five batters. Jon Lester, LHP Stats 5-8, 5.49 ERA Last 3 starts Lester hasn't taken a win since June 27, but looked better than he had in a six-inning, four-run outing against the Yanks his last time out. His lifetime ERA in seven starts and eight outings against the Twins is 4.96. Giving up 4 runs against the evils may not be that bad, but it is not good enough. I want to see the old Lester, no I want to see a better Lester, a more mature Lester a Lester who knows we all know how much he's been through and how great he has been can take his bow AFTER he pitches a good looong game and wins tonight. Oh and bats, you know what to do. Lead the way Adrian, to another 4 or more game streak. And Tigers, I think I spelled your pitchers name wrong and I don't care

Red Sox vs. Deduno: No history.
Stat of the Day: The Sox are 3-0 against the Twins this season and 18-10 against the AL Central this season.
Notes: Here's a crazy stat for you: The Red Sox haven't won consecutive games started by Lester since May 14 and 19. ... The Sox are 8-13 in games started by Lester. He showed some improvement against the Yankees on Saturday (6 IP, 4 H, 4 ER) in a victory against CC Sabathia. Lester is, oddly, 1-3, 4.96 against the Twins in his career. ... Deduno is a 29-year-old journeyman making his fifth big-league start. But the first four sure were good. Deduno has allowed two runs on eight hits in his last 13.1 innings. None of the Red Sox have faced him before. ... Middlebrooks has hit in nine straight at 13 of 33 with six RBIs. ... Gonzalez is .389/.407/.550 in his last 33 games. ... Lavarnway is starting a major league game for the first time since Game 162 last season. ... Ciriaco has hit safely in six straight at 9 of 23.

A Lester - Lavarnway battery? Could be fun

Georgie Porgie, he might buy the whole league, but he doesn't have enough money to buy fear to put in my heart.
