Jon Lester really had his A+ stuff today as the Jays managed 3 chinsey infield hits against him and a few foul tips as he struck them out at will. It reminded me of some A.J. Burnett performances where he had a few walks, a lot of strikeouts. It's days like this when I wonder of the pitch count theory that teams use now is all that well thought out. Lester shows no signs of wear after 115 pitches, but they're going to go to the pen after 6 innings. When you see a guy like Lester have stuff like this...you wonder how the hell he ever ended up with a 6+ ERA coming into this game.
