American
League - Jon Lester, Boston Blizzards
Going 3-0 during
a Block isn't that rare an occurrence. But going 3-0 during the
stretch run of a pennant race...well, that's a little bit special.
Lester went 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA during Block 10, and helped lead the
Blizzard in their battle versus New York for the American League East crown.
