Pitchers: vs Lester vs Simon
Boston (90-71) owns a share of the AL wild-card lead with Tampa Bay heading into the final day of the regular season. The Rays face AL East champion New York, and would host the Red Sox in a one-game playoff Thursday if the teams remain deadlocked. (4-9, 4.85) takes the mound looking to win for the first time since beating Minnesota on Aug. 23. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA in six starts since, including two losses in four games at Camden Yards. “I think it’s really good for baseball, not so good for my stomach,” manager Terry Francona said. “It’s exciting. If you don’t want to show up (Wednesday) and play, you’ve got no pulse. My goodness, I can’t remember being that nervous in a long time. Go back to the hotel and not sleep, and then show up and see what we can do.” “I stink,” Lester told the team’s official website. “If I had the answer, it wouldn’t happen. You go 32-0 every year if you had the answer of why you stink sometimes. It just happens. It’s part of baseball. Lester, however, hasn’t come close to being that effective his last three trips to the mound, losing each behind a 10.54 ERA. He was pounded by the Yankees on Saturday, surrendering a season-high eight runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings of a 9-1 defeat. Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon..
