Let's hear it for Jon Lester!
The kid gets hit with lymphoma at 22, but fights his way through treatment and returns to make the Red Sox starting rotation. Last night, he shut down the Indians to pick up his first victory of the season.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

1. I was thrilled with how well he pitched last night...
this young man has boatloads of courage, and enormous talent. I'm go glad he's back with the team - great to see him pitch again!
