Rays 21 9Jacoby Ellsbury felt discomfort on his left side before last night's game and had a CT scan and some X-rays. Terry Francona: "He got a little nervous. ... Is it related [to his fractured ribs]? It's hard to imagine it's not. It was in a different area, a little bit over to the side."

The Red Sox kept Darnell McDonald on the roster and instead DFA'd Scott Atchison. ... Victor Martinez is surprised at how well his toe is healing -- he was able to wear a sneaker and take BP -- though he will likely not play tonight. ... Josh Beckett played long-toss, threw a little bit from a mound, and may have a bullpen session on Friday.

Lester is so good that after a start where he holds them scoreless for six innings, people say things like "he didn't really have his best stuff, he was struggling a little..."!
It is amazing when you step back and realize that the starting pitching has been that good over the past week. One can only hope that Lackey catches "the fever" and continues the trend tonight.
Point well-made, Tom Deplonty!
