Major League Baseball
Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
There's likely nothing Jon Lester can do to prevent the Boston Red Sox from missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006, but that won't stop him from pursuing a rare victory against his hometown team.
The Washington state native typically hasn't pitched well in Seattle, a trend he'll hope to change Monday as he looks to hand the lowly Mariners a fifth consecutive defeat.
The Red Sox (79-64) began their West Coast trip by losing two of three to Oakland, and despite a 5-3 win Sunday they remain 7 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay in the wild card race.
Lester (16-8, 3.26 ERA) has done his best to help an unlikely push, winning five of his last six starts. He matched his career high in victories last Monday against the Rays, working six strong innings in a 12-5 win and striking out 10 for the third consecutive outing.
