Jon Lester looks to keep his record perfect in his eighth start of 2013. In his previous seven starts, Lester is 4-0 with a 3.30 ERA. He's made two starts against the Jays in 2013 and is 1-0 with a 3.46 (5 ER/13 IP). He's made 24 career starts against the visiting nine and is 12-7 with a 3.82 ERA.
The crafty well-traveled veteran Ramon Ortiz makes his first start (second appearance) of 2013 for the Jays. In his only appearance, he allowed two runs in 3.1 IP. He last faced the Red Sox in 2004 as a member of the Angels when he made four appearances and was 1-0 with a 5.79 ERA (6 ER/9.1 IP). He's made 12 career appearances (eight starts) against the local nine and is 3-3 with a 4.67 ERA. Six of those appearances (five starts) have come at the Fens where he is 1-2 with a 5.86 ERA.
