| The long ball can be your friend, and it can also be your enemy. David Ortiz puts two into the seats and Jason Bay tosses in a homer while the Red Sox bust out to a 6-3 lead off of former Phillie Gavin Floyd. But, Chicago can also swing a mean bat (they lead the majors in homeruns at 181), with all of their scoring today coming off homers. Orlando Cabrera rips a 3-run shot in the 3rd and Jim Thome takes Paps deep in the bottom of the 8th for a 3-run blast of his own to tie the game 6-6. Paps sails through the 9th and stays in for the 10th, but after getting an out Carlos Quentin takes him deep for a walk-off homer. Only the third blown save for Papelbon on the year in 25 chances, and the two homers allowed by him today in 1 2/3 innings doubles his season total of homers allowed as he had allowed just two in almost 45 innings previously. So he isn't Mr. Automatic after all, we can't all be perfect. :) |
