07/24/2007 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jon Lester, the plucky 23-year-old Red Sox hurler, completed a courageous comeback from cancer by allowing just five hits and two runs over six innings to earn the win in Boston's 6-2 victory over Cleveland at Jacobs Field on Monday.
The Red Sox officially recalled Lester from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Pawtucket prior to the contest, for the southpaw's first major-league start since August 23, 2006 -- a win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Lester was 7-2 with a 4.76 ERA in 15 starts with the Red Sox after being promoted from Pawtucket in June, 2006. The No. 1 prospect in the organization and Boston's first pick of the 2002 draft, Lester became the first Red Sox rookie lefty in club history to win his first five decisions.
However, his charmed season was cut short after that start against the Angels when he was placed on the disabled list due to a sore back, an injury which led to a September diagnosis of a treatable form of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
Lester, who was officially removed from the disabled list on June 11, compiled a 4-5 record with a 3.89 ERA in 14 starts with Pawtucket this season. He took the place of Julian Tavarez in Boston's starting rotation. Tavarez, the team's fifth starter since the beginning of the regular season, was just 5-8 with a 5.27 ERA in 18 games in 2007.
The club designated pitcher Joel Pineiro for assignment to make room on the roster. Pineiro was 1-1 with a 5.03 ERA in 31 games this season.
