Sox: 6 Yanks: 4
The answer to the question in the title: Since the Trop became the Red Sox' new house of horrors. After dropping three of four this past weekend to the team that has made the Sox their favorite punching bag, our Boston boys were glad to beat a hasty retreat from that place. It didn't matter that they were headed to the brand spankin' new home of their age-old rival. Anywhere is better than the Dome of Doom!
The Sox needed a quality start out of Lester and he delivered, going seven innings and allowing three runs in a hiccup of a fifth, where he allowed two dingers in a row. He whiffed ten Yankees, tying his career high, and in the other six innings he pitched, he was the dominant ace on whom the Sox heavily relied last season. It marked the second quality outing by a Sox starter after a string of wanton over-generosity by the beleaguered rotation. Unlike Sunday, however, the bats were there to back up the solid start. Lowell and Bay each went deep and joined Youk in the 6-homer club. Papi showed promise by roping two doubles down the right field line and Jake had another multi-hit game with a stolen base. Ramirez was tagged for his first earned run when Tex took him yard in the eighth for his second long ball of the game. Paps walked the tightrope in the ninth (after getting the last two outs of the eighth) , but earned his seventh save as the Sox went to 4-0 on the Yanks so far this season. Weather permitting, tonight they will try for another sweep.
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!
