Well, today's game resulted in another Sox win and the taking of a series from what has become, over the past several years, a real nemesis, Texas. Today, the punch came early with Nap and Pierzynski bringing home the runs and giving the Hose a three zip early lead, upped to four an inning later. After that things kind of progressed bit by bit. The Rangers got a HR from Chin that made it 4-1, Sox and after Pedey added a shot to the cheaps, the Sox rode home to a 5-2 final on the collective arms of Lackey, now 5-2 for the season and the pen, which contributed a pair of perfect innings to slam the door on any thoughts Texas may have had about coming back. Both of the last two Sox hurlers, Miller and Koji, picked up a pair of K's, Miller in fifteen pitches and Koji in fourteen. Koji got his ninth save for his efforts as well.
As all other AL East teams lost today, the Hose picked up a game everywhere, and should now be two games out in third, a half game behind the Stripes, and a game and a half ahead of the Jays.
