Well, tonight is another example of an excellent pitching job by both the starter and the pen. Bucky got the win, one zip, going seven innings of four hit ball, with four K's and the same number of BB's. After the seventh, Bard took over, and immediately gave up a solid double. However, he then proceeded to blow away the Royals, taking down the next three batters. He needed only a total of 12 pitches, finished with a K. Then, The Laser took over. Same number of pitches, but perfect. No hits, no nothing and a K to boot. Game over. Bucky gets his 7th 'W' and his ERA drops to 2.73.
Offensively, Papi continues on his torrid May with a solid double in three trips and Mike Lowell drove in the only run of the game, while playing FIRST base. Series continues tomorrow at the Fens for a day game, PST start of 10:35.
While the Hose didn't exactly light up KC's pitchers, at least it was a good improvement over the previous two games, when the Sox started ahead and then lost, got blown out last night, spoiling what could have been a great Hub evening as the C's closed out the NBA Conference finals over Orlando and won the right to go for their 18th NBA Title. (As it turns out, against who else but the Lakers.)
