Well, in the next to last game of the first half of the 2013 season, the Sox took a quick 3-1 lead out of the 1st and had it up to five by the end of the 3d--looking briefly like a replay of the prior evening. However, things settled down after that and they eventually won, 5-3, the last two Rox runs on a pair of solo shots by the Rockies' Cuddyer. Those were the Rockies' high points for the evening. As for the Hose, the win was a team effort. Offensively, Papi and Nap each added an RBI to their totals, while Vic went 3-4 and the Dustman added a 2-4 contribution. The Sox, leading the league in doubles for the season so far added three more to the total, as well as Drew's second triple in two games.
Defensively, Lackey continues his inspiring comeback from last year's Tommy John surgery. He went seven, allowing just two runs, while picking up a dozen K's. Uehara, in his recently assigned role as closer, picked up his second save in as many tries, tossing a perfect 9th, including a pair of K's.
With both the Stripes and O's losing, the Sox lead in the Division increased to 3.5 games.
