Well, the latest Sox win streak, 3 had to end sooner or later--even against the inept O's. I mean every team, no matter how bad they are wins occasionally. For the O's, it was Tuesday night. Opening up three zip, they found the Hose on their heels after a little bit, 3-2. However, this time, the bats that put the game away were not tinged red--they were colored bright orange. A couple of late inning HR's and the game was gone, 6-2. Aceves finally let one get away from him after some pretty impressive service for the Hub Heroes for the season so far.
Today's game was a different story. Led by Jake, the Hose put it away four zip, Sox pitching allowing only two hits for the game. In fact, other than the line for Sox starter and winner Miller, the Hose moundsmen were perfect for the last nearly four innings. First Albers, then Bard and finally The Laser all gave up nothing--no-one got even to 1st against any of them! Offensively, the only word you need to know is Ellsbury. He placed two solo shots in the cheaps, supplemented by single runs off a Tek ground out and a Crawford walk with the sacks full. Jake's pair of dingers mark the first multi-homer game he's had since May of 2008. Other worthy notes include Gonzo's 4-5 day, Pedroia's 17th swipe along with his continuation of his hitting streak to 18 games (a career high) and two hit days each for Reddick and Crawford.
