| David Ortiz finally busts out of his season long slump in a big way, on a 3 for 5 day including his first homerun of the year and knocks in 4 runs as the Sox steamroll their way to victory. Numerical order in scoring today, as the Sox get one run in the 1st inning, 2 runs in the 2nd inning, 3 runs in the 4th inning then seem to forget about the numbers 4 and 5, flying ahead to a 6 run 6th inning when they send 11 men to the plate. All that scoring is more than enough for Josh Beckett to record his first win of the year. Beckett allows one run in 6th, and was lifted after walking the first 2 batters in the 7th. Manny Declarmen and Hideki Okajima finish up uneventfully, save for a 2-run Robinson Cano homerun in the 8th with one run charged to each pitcher. A couple of interesting bonehead base running moves by the Yankees, both occuring in the 3rd inning. Bobby Abreu doubles and is picked off second on the hidden ball trick (no, I am not kidding!!) and A-Rod is picked off first base the conventional way after hitting a single. |
