    The way Jon Lester started out, it looked as though he would get deep into the game.

    He only lasted six innings because of a high pitch count, and had to sweat it out before Jonathan Papelbon saved another one for him.

    Lester scattered four hits without allowing a run, and the Boston Red Sox overcame some shaky relief by Matt Albers and Bobby Jenks to beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Friday night. The Red Sox improved to 8-5 following a season-opening six-game losing streak, making manager Terry Francona's 52nd birthday a happy one.
