| It didn't look like a win at first when Chicago gets 4 runs off of Daisuke Matsuzaka in the 2nd inning on only two hits via a Jed Lowrie error, an RBI double for Nick Swisher and a 3-run blast for Dewayne Wise, but that would be the only inning in which the White Sox would get a hit or score a run. The Sox bail Dice-K out with David Ortiz ripping a solo homerun in the 4th, Lowrie makes up for his eror with a 6th inning 2-run double, and Kevin Youkilis puts them ahead for good with a 2-run single in the 7th. That puts Matsuzaka in line for his 12th win, Justin Masterson goes the 7th and 8th innings striking out 4 and Paps takes the 9th whiffing two more for his 22nd save. Chicago only leaves one runner on base for the game, and all four runs are unearned. |

David Ortiz blasted a homerun as the Boston Red Sox outscored the Chicago (AL)
White Sox 5 to 4.
In the top of the 7th inning Boston scored 2 runs. The key offensive moment
was provided by Kevin Youkilis who silenced the crowd when he banged out a
single which was good for two runs. Jonathan Papelbon was perfect in the
ninth giving him his 22nd save on the season.
The victory was credited to Daisuke Matsuzaka(12-3) who went 6 innings,
allowing 4 runs. Adam Russell(1-2) was the losing pitcher in relief. By
surrending 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning his ERA jumped from 3.71 to 4.58.
Boston now has a record of a division leading 70-47. Chicago (AL) has a
record of 71-45 after the loss.
