Well, Jenn, you sort of got your wish. This time the Sox opened a big lead and didn't give it back--at least not enough of it to matter. Starting in the 2d and continuing in the 3d and 5th, the Sox built an eight zip lead, and Lester was rolling along in pretty good shape. The Sox runs this time were all without benefit of any homers, but the Sox didn't waste time throwing a bunch of two baggers up on the board--a total of six to be exact, three by Yooouk, who continued where he'd left off the night before. Other members of the 'doubles team' (sounds a bit like Wimbledon, don't you think?) were Dusty, Bay and Lowrie. In the case of Yooouk, Bay and Lowrie, they included two run doubles each, Yooouk's leaving him with 83 ribbies for the season.
Things admittedly began to get a bit tense in the Texas 8th when Milton Bradley popped a 3-run homer to get the Rangers within four, the actual drive given up by Jenn's favorite. But Lopez and Masterson closed out, in order, the inning and the game, so no harm done.
Other news: new addition Byrd's taking Buchholz's spot in the rotation for now, and unfortunately, Lowell's on the 15 day DL with a strained oblique. Separately, Yanks lost again to the Twins and are now six games astern of the Sox.
