Jon Lester said after his last outing in Toronto that he couldn't wait to take the mound at Yankee Stadium.

If there were such a thing, Jason Varitek said Thursday, industrious bullpen coach Gary Tuck would have taught it to catchers long ago.

Jon Lester simply wanted to come out and throw better. He wanted to give a better acquittal of himself than he had Saturday in Toronto, when he didn't make it out of the third inning of an 11-0 drubbing.

Mr Jon Lester turned in a Stellar Performance, with 7 1/3 Innings Pitched. At times, Okie-Dokie reminds me a bit of the Unlamented Eric Gagne' of Last Season, which leaves me with an Ill Feeling in my gut, ...

Their No. 1 starting pitcher is going to miss another start. Their bullpen is beaten up, and on Saturday the most reliable starting pitcher they have left was knocked out in the third inning.

Vernon Wells hit two home runs, Marco Scutaro added a solo shot and the Toronto Blue Jays roughed up Jon Lester in an 11-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Wells went 4-for-5 with three RBIs and scored four times to back Jesse Litsch's strong outing. He hit a two-run shot off Lester in the first inning and a solo drive in the fifth for his team-leading 12th homer.

It was Wells' first multihomer game this season and the 17th of his career.

A three-time Gold Glove winner, Wells also made a pair of fine catches, both on drives by Jason Bay. Wells ended the third by racing back to the warning track to make an over-the-shoulder, bobbling catch, then ranged into deep left-center to deny Bay again in the sixth.
