The Boston bats had Beckett’s back last night, in a big way. Alliteration aside, the Red Sox starter struggled through five innings, but came up with the win, his seventeenth of the season, as the Sox took a third game from the Cleveland Indians.
With only one game left in the regular season, the quiet Red Sox backs woke up, as Aaron Laffey and the rest of the Tribe’s pen were lit up, on the way to an 11-6 loss.

GAME NOTES: For the Sox to go far, Jon Lester and Josh Beckett need to be at the top of their game. Lester’s looking good. Is Beckett?
“Effective” isn’t a term often used to describe Daisuke Matsuzaka’s outings, but that’s exactly what he looked like in last night’s start, as the Red Sox took a second win off of the Cleveland Indians, 6-2.

UPDATE: X-Rays negative, will be fine. Whew.
Alex Gonzalez was injured during Friday’s game, when it was hit by a pitch. Preliminary x-rays showed a “line” on his right hand, which means it could be fractured. A more intensive x-ray is being taken Saturday.
It would be a huge blow to lose A-Gon, as we also don’t have Nick Green around to back up. Shortstop could be a VERY, VERY big hole in the playoffs. I’m concerned. Are you?
