Worth every minute

Two hours and 27 minutes to be exact.  Clay Buchholz earned the win on 5 1/3 innings pitched on four walks, one run earned, and six strikeouts to earn his second win of the season as Boston's bats woke up beating the Rays 7-3.

Dustin Pedroia drove home three runs in the game and Brandon Moss also provided some offense pop with a solo homerun off of Edwin Jackson in the fourth inning.  In that inning Boston scored five times en route to their big win.

Star of the Game: Pedroia

Dusty batted 3-5 in the game with three RBI's and one run.  That deserves the star here.

Preview of Next Game: James Shields vs Josh Beckett

Last time around James Shield down right owned the Boston offense pitching a complete game shutout.  Turn the page over to a Josh Beckett who I certainly feel will not want to be out done again after striking out 13 the last time these two met and not earning the win for his efforts.

It was an impressive hit, in particular because Clay Bucholz continues to pitch well. Pitching is the key to the Sox chances of repeating.
