| Normally, when a starter allows 4 runs in the first three innings of the game that means he is most likely in a deep hole. Jon Lester was in that situation today, allowing 4 runs through the first 3 innings. But, the Sox give him plenty of support scoring 7 runs in those same first 3 innings, knocking Oriole starter Daniel Cabrear out of the game in the first inning. Kevin Youkilis continues to lay on the power, hitting his 14th and 15th homeruns of the season, along with homers for Dustin Pedroia and Manny Ramirez. Meanwhile, Lester beared down and retired 11 straight at one point before beginning to finally run out of gas in the 7th. Winning the final three games in the road trip enable the Sox to salvage a 5-5 record for the trip. A welcome return to Fenway is next on the schedule, with the first of the interleague games coming up when their former American League rivals the Milwaukee Brewers come to town. The Sox this year have an interesting interleague schedule, with series at Fenway against the Brewers, Cardinals and Diamondbacks to go along with series on the road against the Reds, Astros and Phillies. The rest of the interleague games are in late June. |
