Sox Take Series--Now Three of Four

Well, with today's win, the Sox head to the All-Star break with three of four, including the series victory over Houston. Credit goes everywhere except the pen, but the pen being left out isn't their fault--they weren't needed. Bucky threw a three hit shutout! Better yet--he also had no freebies and picked up a dozen K's.
The offense began with the first batter. Holt, hitting leadoff drove a shot into the cheaps on a full count and just like that the Sox had a lead that they weren't to relinquish.
Papi added a pair of ribbies although he had no hits today. The hits were scattered, all sixteen of them, all along the lineup. Even better, led by Danny Nava, who I've recently noted is showing signs of getting his batting eye back, the bottom half of the lineup had seven of the sixteen hits, led by a pair apiece from Nava, Drew and the Sox newest rookie, their catcher, Vasquez. The last of these is hitting like he was born with a bat in his hands, and is at .455 with a slugging average of .727. Of all the hits, all were by the Sox, but only a trey--a double by Vasquez, a triple by Carp and the aforementioned tater by Holt. But what is more important, the hits were constantly coming in clusters.  Someone got on and the Sox moved him around and got him home--whatever the situation. THIS is how they played last year! It may bot be too late.  Keep your fingers crossed and look forward to the rest of the season after the break.
