Sox: 5 Those Other Sox: 1
I'm back from vacation and so are the Red Sox bats. After six hitless innings, the offense flipped the "on" switch in the seventh and started getting hits and scoring runs. Tonight's RBI heroes: JD Drew and Jed Lowrie (2 apiece) with an honorable mention to Jacoby Ellsbury (1). Let me tell you, that kid Lowrie can HIT with the bases loaded. He almost had another bases-clearing double, but JD got thrown out at the plate. Kudos to Youk for breaking up the no-hitter.
Beckett gets win #11, going 8 innings, giving up 1 run and 7 hits. Coco makes a bid for a trip to Beijing for the Olympic gymnastics competition by turning a catch in centerfield into a somersault. Since boxing didn't work out, why not?
By winning this game, the Sox have their first winning road trip (4-3) since Interleague play in June. For a game that looked pretty pitiful for the Red Sox for the first two thirds, they sure turned it around.
Tomorrow, with Wake DL-ing it for at least two starts with a bum shoulder, PawSox knuckleballer Charlie Zink makes his major league debut. He's the best choice to fill in for Wake and hopefully he will be successful on "The Big Stage" at Fenway.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
