Monday Night: Red Sox Blank O's 4-0

The Red Sox continued their dominance at Camden Fields in Baltimore tonight as they won their eight straight against the Orioles, dating back to last season. The Orioles have looked completely overmatched against the Red Sox for the past few years and tonight was no different as Jon Lester threw 7 shutout innings to improve to 8-0, 2.18 against Baltimore in his career. J.D. Drew was a double short of the cycle, as he hit from the leadoff spot tonight. Jonathan Papelbon faced one batter for his 132nd career save, tying Bob Stanley for the most saves in Red Sox history. Also of note is that Mike Lowell will be out until at least Friday after having an injection and having fluid drained from his right hip. He may end up on the DL, but it is too early to tell. For now, Kevin Youkilis will man the hot corner and Mark Kotsay will play first.

Next Game: Tuesday, 7:05, @Baltimore Orioles
