After taking three of four from the Tampa Bay Rays over the long weekend, the Red Sox have kicked things into high gear and are ready to welcome the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees to town.
Jon Lester still looks like the ace of this Red Sox staff, tossing two gems in both of his outings this season but is still left in search of his first win of the year on Tuesday night. The left-hander threw eight innings, giving up just three runs in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, back home, Josh Beckett returned to his front-line form on Friday afternoon in the home opener allowing just one run over eight innings of work in Boston's 12-2 win.
Reliever Franklin Morales has looked almost untouchable so far this season. Morales threw another two innings of scoreless relief over the weekend, accumulating two holds and still not relinquishing a run on the year.
Closer Alfredo Aceves once again looks like the pitcher who finished off 2011 so strong. Aceves has now thrown three consecutive perfect innings, giving up no runs or walks and striking out four of the nine batters he's faced.
Who do you think deserves to be this week's Amica Pitcher of the Week?
