Or to put it another more simple way--the Diceman was AWESOME! Pitching into the 7th, he allowed only 3 hits, no runs and picked up five K's. His WHIP for the appearance was 1.0--not too shabby an outing for a guy just off three months of DL. Matched out for out until the 6th, he hung on long enough to get the W when the Sox picked up a pair off the Halos' Lackey, to be followed two innings later by another pair, including Big Papi's 24th homer of the year, a shot to dead center. For Papi, it was also a milestone as it set the all time record for HR's by a DH--270. Papi had been tied at 269 with Frank Thomas. Papi still has a shot at both 30 HR's and 100 RBI's for the season. It'll be close, especially the ribbies, as the Hose have just 19 games left.
Oh yes--Texas and the Stripes lost, so the Hub Heroes are just 6.5 behind Mr. Hankies Yankees and are 5.5 ahead of Texas for the Card.
