Here’s how bad it was for Boston lefty Jon Lester: Vernon Wells turned on the best pitch he threw and drilled it for a two-run homer. Wells hit two home runs, Marco Scutaro added a solo shot and the Toronto Blue Jays roughed up the usually reliable Lester in an 11-0 rout of the Red Sox on Saturday. “Nothing was really working,” Lester said.
Manny Ramirez hit the ball hard, but right at Colorado third baseman Ian Stewart.
