Finally, A Win!

Dad --

Did you see the game yesterday? After two seriously disappointing losses to the Rays, Wakefield took the mound and we finally won one. So now there's actually a chance we could split the series since the final game is today.

Wakefield wasn't as awesome as he has been in his previous starts, going only 6+ innings and giving up five runs in the process, but he was still on enough to get the job done. Well, Wake plus the bullpen. You know Ramirez still has an ERA of 0? He's spectacular!

But it wasn't just Wakefield. The Red Sox bats finally woke up last night too as they scored 10 times over the nine innings. And Ellsbury stole not one, not two, but three bases. As a matter of fact, the Sox were doing so well early on, they chased Rays' starter Jeff Niemann from the mound after only three innings.

So Dad, overall I'd say it was a very positive outing. One I hope they can repeat this afternoon.
