Sox Bats Unload

Last night it was Wake's 198th MLB win. Tonight it was the collective force of the Sox bats.Starting in a two zip hole, the Sox started the comeback by picking up a trey on The Dustman's 3 run shot in the 3d. The lead was brief, but, as the first of what were to be six shots on the night, it was a good foundation. After the Birds came back to tie in the next inning, the Hose really unpacked the lumber.Starting with single runs in both the 4th and 5th, they added a pair in the 6th and then really unloaded in the 7th! Papi, Reddick and Salty went back to back to back, and suddenly, it's 10-3--game pretty much in the bag--barring the unforeseen. As it turned out, the unforeseen remained pretty much unseen, save for a single run for the O's late in the game, and the Sox picked up the 'W'--AND took over first in the division from the Stripes, who were beaten by the Rays.
Sox pitching was a little bit of a mixed bag, with Miller giving up three earned in his five innings, although he did get the win. The pen looked better overall. Aceves was perfect for two, Atchison, newly recalled, gave up a single run and Jenks threw a final inning of one hit shutout ball.
Besides the HR's, four Sox players had multi-hit games, topped by Gonzo's three for five. It'd be great going into the All-Star break in first.
