Today's game is a classic example of how sometimes things go for the Sox even when they win, or, as Yogi used to say, Jenn, "It ain't over til it's over." Here we are cruising into the 9th, ahead three zip, behind Bucky who's only allowed a pair of hits to the Bengals. Then, comes the 9th. First two guys get on via an infield hit and a walk--not exactly a ringing statement of their offense, but they are on base with no outs. Call to the pen and in comes The Laser--who immediately gives up a two run double, followed by a K and a run scoring single. Blown save and it's tied! Just when a win would be great because Mr. Hankie's Yankees got whitewashed by three by the Rays. Anyway, at that point Pap regains his mastery and closes things out with a DP grounder.
Bottom of the 9th, starting with Scut's hit, the Sox quickly show they're not going to let this one get away. They load the bases with no outs and the game winner scores on an error by the final Tigers pitcher. Sox now are two straight, five of six and seven of ten.
Tomorrow the Tribe visits the Fens.
