Great Return Home: Peter

Jenn: I've always said one of the best things about taking a trip is coming home. Worked out that way tonight for the Sox. Not only did our team shut out the Halos, six zip, the game also marked the return to the lineup of the Dustman. True, he was o-4, but is presence in the lineup just always seems to add a spark. The team picked up their six runs quickly between the 3d through the 5th innings, the big blow coming on Kalish's first career Grand Slam in the 4th. Other offensive stars were McDonald, who also homered and Papi, who got a pair of hits, including his 25th double, followed by V-Mart's 26th to plate him.
Defensively, Bucky scattered five hits over seven, while simultaneously lowering his ERA to 2.36 and getting his 14th win. Not to shabby, not at all! So we remain 5.5 behind the Rays and Mr. Hankie's Yankees, who both also won.
