After last night’s offensive free-for-all, you kind of thought that we might get a pitcher’s duel or something similar to that at Fenway Park on Tuesday night. And we got just that.

Jon Lester allowed one run over eight innings and Jeremy Hermida’s bases clearing double in the 8th spurred the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anheim in front of 37,411 at the Fens.

It’s the second straight win for the Red Sox over the Angels as they inch closer to .500 at 13-14. It’s the fifth straight loss for the Angels who fall to 12-16.

The Red Sox have one chance before Hermida’s big hit in the 8th to win it by it went by the wayside.

Kevin Jepsen had taken over for Ervin Santana in the 8th and started by walking Victor Martinez, who was then pinch-run for by Jonathan Van Every. Jepsen then walked Kevin Youkilis. J.D. Drew followed with a single to load up the bases to bring up David Ortiz. Neither manager made a move and it worked to the Angels advantage as on a 2-0 count, Big Papi grounded into a 4-2-3 double play.

Jepsen’s wildness continued though as he walked Adrian Beltre to reload the bases. This time though, Hermida came up with a big hit that cleared the bases to give the Red Sox a 4-1 lead. Mike Lowell pinch-hit for Darnell McDonald and delivered with a double to bring in Hermida and make it 5-1.

Lester started this one for the Red Sox and once again had another great outing. He had good life on his fastball and excellent command of all his pitches. He threw 120 pitches in eight innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Jonathan Papelbon struck out two in the 9th.

Marco Scutaro led the Red Sox with three hits while Hermida had two hits with the three 3 RBIs. Drew also had two hits while VMart had a hit and drove in the first run of night on a groundout.

The Angels and Red Sox will be back at it again on Wednesday night when John Lackey and Joel Piñero will face off against their former clubs. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight – 5/4 [SOX & Dawgs]

After a 20-hit, 17-run performance last night, the Boston Red Sox  are hoping for more of the same in game two of a four-game set tonight at Fenway Park.

First pitch for tonight’s game is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. and will be shown on NESN in the Red Sox television market. The game will be broadcast on FoxSports West in the Angels television market. If you can’t catch the television broadcast, you can always listen to the game on the 2010 Red Sox radio network.

Jon Lester looks to build upon his last two starts in his sixth start of 2010. In his previous five starts, he is 1-2 with a 4.71 ERA. He didn’t face the Angels during the 2009 regular season. Overall in his career, he’s made four starts against them and is 1-1 with a 7.78 ERA.

Ervin Santana makes his sixth start of 2010 and is 1-2 with a 4.59 ERA. He made two starts against the Red Sox in 2009 and had no record with a 4.50 ERA. He’s made six career starts against the Red Sox and is 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA. He’s made four career starts at the Fens and is 0-2 with a 6.33 ERA.

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has a message for the “fans of New England”. Here’s what he said courtesy of Rob Bradford of WEEI.com.

“To the fans of New England,” the second baseman began.

“Everybody can be [expletive] happy when you’re [expletive] 30-1, but what is everybody going to do when we’re 12-14? Are you going to show up to work the next day and write an [expletive] story? Hell no. You’re going to write the best story of your life. We’re going to try and play the best [expletive] game of our life tomorrow. That’s what you’ve got to do when you’re 12-14. Don’t put your head down and mope. Grind it out. You believe. That’s what we’re built on.”

I wonder if he read what Michele wrote yesterday without the cuss words.

And by the way, this is just another reason in the millions to love Pedroia.

Editor’s note: I’m an idiot and forgot to publish this in the morning.  I had it all typed and ready to go. Instead of changing it to published, I hit the save button. So my sincere apologies for this coming wicked late.

Wow!!! Where the heck was that offensive explosion this past weekend in Baltimore?

The hits just kept coming and coming last night for the Boston Red Sox and the by-product of that was seventeen runs. And after hitting four home runs on Sunday in Baltimore, the Red Sox added another four to that total last night. And people were worried about the offense.

The offensive explosion by the Red Sox last night couldn’t have come at a better time after the weekend they had in Baltimore. Things weren’t looking good for them especially with the upcoming schedule. But with an Angels team that was going through the same kind of season as the Red Sox, something really had to give last night and it did.

Angels starter Joe Saunders has had command issues all season long and it showed last night. Given his career numbers at Fenway Park, one might have thought he would have turned it around. Instead it was the Red Sox who turned things around.

Mike Lowell had a rough go of things in Baltimore but went 4-for-4 last night while J.D. Drew, who got off to a slow start, added four hits as well. In fact, every member of the starting nine had at least one hit with Marco Scutaro and Dustin Pedroia the only ones without multiple hits.

Clay Buchholz has been the most consistent and probably the best starter the Red Sox have had all season long. Last night he gave them what I like to call a serviceable outing. He wasn’t great but he wasn’t bad. The one thing I liked from him last night was that when he got into trouble on the mound, he remained poised.

As Buchholz goes through the growing pains of becoming a big league starter, he’s matured more as time goes on. This can only bode well for him and the Red Sox as the season goes forward.

Now does anyone know why we didn’t give Alan Embree a chance especially after watching Scott Schoeneweis suck up the joint in the 9th last night. Schoeneweis was tagged for four runs in the 9th but thankfully the game was well out of hand at that point. Both Embree and Schoeneweis are the same type of pitcher but the Red Sox never gave Embree a chance after calling him up.

I wonder if the Red Sox are regretting that decision after last night’s outing by Schoeneweis.

You also have to be happy that Victor Martinez threw out another basestealer last night. After watching teams runs rampant on the Red Sox, VMart and Jason Varitek have thrown out the last six runners attempting to steal on them. This could be key as the Red Sox face running teams and could change their game plans if both of them can keep up that pace.

We’ll be back later with the lineups, batter/pitcher matchups and afternoon links but for now enjoy the overnight links.
