Jhoulys Chacin pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning to beat Jon Lester and lead the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Chacin walked five and allowed four singles in 6 2-3 innings. Lester, in his first trip to Coors Field since winning Game 4 to clinch Boston's 2007 World Series title, lost for the first time since April 18 despite allowing just one earned run and six hits - all singles - in six spectacular innings.

Boston had won six straight and Lester (8-3) had won eight in a row.

In ending a personal four-game losing streak, Chacin (4-6) got a big boost from reliever Joe Beimel, who retired pinch-hitter David Ortiz with the bases full in the seventh.
