A bit of history for July 11 and then on to last night's game. Today is the 99th anniversary of Babe Ruth's MLB debut, pitching for the Sox. He got the win with our site's namesake, Duffy Lewis, providing the winning hit, a 7th inning single.
Now for things more current. Last night's game quickly became a Sox laugher, with the Hose picking up pairs of runs in both the 2d and 3d innings and adding another run in the 4th for an early five zip lead. This grew in the 6th to nine zip with the Sox tacking on four then and an additional pair in the 9th for the final 11-4 score. It was nine zip before the M's were even able to get anything across. Papi and Vic each had a pair of hits, while Jake, extending his hit streak to 18 games, had three. Included among these were two baggers by both Jake and Papi and a 2-run homer by Papi one inning after his double. His pair of hits thrust him past Harold Baines into the all time lead position for hits by a DH. He now has 1690, and counting. Between them, this trio also accounted for six ribbies and five runs.
As for pitching, Dubront did an excellent job. He went seven innings, giving up five hits and a pair of freebies, while nailing down six K's. His game WHIP was a very good 1.0. The only run charged to him came in his final inning, the 7th.
Everyone else in the Div also won, so the margins remain unchanged.
