The last time the Boston Red Sox and Jon Lester were in Denver, they were celebrating a championship. The way they’re playing right now, another one in 2010 seems like a real possibility. The Red Sox put their season-best six-game winning streak in the hands of the red-hot Lester on Tuesday night for their first meeting with Colorado since the left-hander helped finish a sweep of the Rockies in the 2007 World Series. Lester was barely a year removed from a diagnosis of lymphoma when he started Game 4 of that World Series, but he earned the victory after working 5 2-3 shutout innings in a 4-3 win at Coors Field as the Red Sox captured their second title in four years. Boston quickly ended the Rockies’ remarkable run, which featured 21 wins in 22 games spanning the regular season and playoffs. That has not been a problem lately for the Red Sox, who went 8-1 on their recent homestand, finishing with three-game sweeps of Arizona and the Los Angeles Dodgers to improve to 10-2 in interleague play.
Boston is close to the AL East lead after going 24-8 overall since May 18, tied with Atlanta for the best record in the majors in that stretch. Lester is a big reason for Boston’s surge, going 8-0 with a 2.01 ERA in his last 11 starts. The left-hander limited Arizona to two runs and four hits in seven innings of a 6-2 victory Wednesday but wasn’t thrilled with his performance, which included three walks and hit two batsmen. Colorado rookie Jhoulys Chacin also has some issues after going 0-4 with a 5.32 ERA in his last four starts. The right-hander gave up seven hits and three walks in five innings at Minnesota on Wednesday, although he limited the damage in a 2-1 loss. The Rockies have won six of nine, but they looked like they missed injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in Sunday’s 6-1 loss to Milwaukee. Closer Manny Corpas allowed five runs in the ninth inning to break a 1-all tie and has given up eight runs while retiring two batters in his last two outings.
