This week's winner of Player of the Week is Dustin Pedroia, so that is #2! He hit 3 homers and 6 RBI, and led himself to a highlight of his career as against the Orioles he hit is first career multihomer game. He also led the Sox to a pretty great week as they went 5-1, sweeping the Rays for the first time this year.(and probably last year too) Pedroia is now batting .297 with 13 HRs, and 63 RBIs as this has been a great year for him, although not comparing to his MVP campain last year. This week the Sox lost 1 to finish a 4-game series against the White Sox, then swept the O's and Rays. Of course the winer of the sweeper against the Rays was a guy who has been about as close to untouchable as you can get lately, Jon Lester. He is 13-7 with a 3.29 ERA and 211 Ks.
