Sox: 5 Snakes: 4
Hallelujah! The Red Sox bats are alive! After 7 teeth-gnashing, nail spitting, wanting-to-throw-something-at-the-TV innings, the Sox finally broke through their offensive stupor and started stringing some hits together. Lugo got it started with a leadoff base hit in the bottom of the 8th, followed by Jake's single, then Pedey's RBI single (Pedey also homered in the 1st) made the score 4-2. Drew whiffs and Manny grounds out, but moves Jake to third and Pedey to second. With two outs in the inning, Mikey Lowell doubles off the monster to tie the score. Then, Tek, who has been in a megaslump, strokes the game-winning RBI. Mossy singles for good measure, but Coco gets the final out of the 4-run comeback inning.
Whiz Kid Masterson wasn't as sharp as usual, but still pitched a decent 6 innings, giving up 4 earned runs and taking a no-decision. Chris Smith, dubbed by Tito as Smitty, throws two shutout innings in the 7th and 8th, setting the stage for Paps in the 9th after the awesome comeback 8th. Paps bounced back from Sunday's outing with the save and the Sox win it for the RemDawg on his special day.
Tomorrow, Wake takes the mound against the Big Unit.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
