Jon Lester - Coughs up five runsLester yielded five runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Royals. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

He was then hit with four runs over the next 2.1 frames before he was removed from the game and eventually charged with a fifth run.
