Lester gets no run support Game 1: Boston SP Jon Lester allowed three earned runs on four hits over six innings in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels, taking a 5-0 loss. Lester wasn't as sharp as opposing starter John Lackey during just his second loss since July 19, but he avoided trouble until the fifth. Erick Aybar started the rally with a leadoff double down the left-field line. After Bobby Abreu walked, Torii Hunter smashed Lester's second pitch off the Disneyland-esque artificial rock pile, with fireworks bursting from it at the moment of impact.

Fantasy Analysis
Lester was pretty effective for the Red Sox in Game 1 but the offense simply wasn't there to back him up. The 25-year-old left-hander got off to a bumpy start this year, posting a 5.65 ERA in April and May, but he has been an ace since, posting a 2.35 ERA with well more than a strikeout per inning the rest of the regular season. He'll likely enter 2010 as a top 15 Fantasy SP, and he has the potential to become even more than that.
