Jon Lester struck out a career high 12 batters and only gave up 3 hits (all weak “dribblers”) as the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays on Sunday. David Ortiz batted 6th in the lineup, giving more at bats to some Boston hitters who have actually showed up this season. Kevin Youkilis is one of them, as he had 2 home runs in the game.

With the Yankees loss yesterday, the Red Sox are now in prime position to take back the AL East lead early this week.
