Papi, Nap Homer; Lackey K's 6

Well, today's game was markedly different in almost all ways from the opener against the O's. The only similarity to the opener is that the O's runs came from a blast by Cruz, a free agent addition.
From there, however, the Sox dominated. Never trailing, they started off with a 2 run shot by Papi in the 3d. After Cruz tied it up the next inning, they then went to town immediately. In the next inning, Nap hit one out, making it 4-2, Sox. Then, in the 7th, the Hose greeted new pitcher Webb with a bases loaded situation of his own making: a couple of Sox hits, a freebie, and up comes Nap. Base hit! Sox score another pair, and the game is basically put away. The final is 6-2, Sox, with the Hose totaling ten hits, including the two homers.
Lackey was stellar. He went a solid six, allowing just the shot by Cruz, but only a pair of other hits, while striking out six. His game WHIP was 0.67, and that's better than 'not too shabby'. It's exceptional, in fact! While I'm on Sox pitching, the pen picked up from there, allowing three harmless hits over three shutout innings, including a K per inning.
Other heroes of note were The Dustman. Who else? Pedey went four for five, and raised his BA to .600, while scoring a pair of runs. I know it's just the second game of the year, but he was vintage Pedey--like always.
Final game of the series is tomorrow with Dubront getting the ball.
