6 IP and 1 ER.

Maddon has to take those other 2.

Agree with IMU.

Someone on this team needs to go 7 innings and that was the perfect opportunity to get 7 from your ace. This bullpen is already getting worn out.

is that how it works?

When analyzing Jon Lester's Thursday, May 18th start, yes.

He pitched extremely well in hard to pitch conditions. One run was scored off of him in the game. GREAT start.

My starter gives up one run over six innings? Give that to me every time.

Zero runs over those official six innings, technically. Maddon should have let Lester complete the 7th inning so that Lester's official line would have been 7 IP and 1 ER. Maddon might need to wear all 3 ER tbh.

do we add runs to his tally when the bullpen strands runners in the future

You want to create earned runs? Interesting.
