Overshadowed a bit by the struggling offense and terrible bullpen, the Sox starters have quietly put together a string of excellent starts. It looks like some of these guys may be starting to hit their stride. Here are the lines of the last 3 games:
Tonight: Lester 8.0 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts
Sunday: Beckett 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 ER, 1 walk, 13 strikeouts
Saturday: Bucholtz 8.0 IP, 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 9 strikeouts
So in the last three the Sox starters have given up just 8 hits and struck-out 28 batters...now if only they could hit.
