Sox Go Bird Hunting, Beat O's 7-2

Jon Lester simply loves facing Baltimore. Entering Saturday's game he was 8-0 against them in his career. He improved to 9-0 against the O's on Saturday by pitching 7 innings of 2-run ball, striking out 9 in the process. Offensive support came from David Ortiz, who hit a solo homer to center, and newly acquired Adam LaRoche, who hit a 2-run opposite field homer into the monster seats. The Sox improve to 2-0 on the homestand after dropping 5 straight on the road. They also pulled within 1.5 games of the Yankees who lost 6-4 to Oakland.
