TEX 5, BOS 1: Trade bait
If Brady Penny is going to be traded then this outing didn't help the Boston Red Sox front office.
BOS 10, DET 5: Almost
Josh Beckett didn't need the early run support. He didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning.
BOS 5, DET 1: Everyone’s a winner
Daisuke Matsuzaka and Terry Francona were both in search of wins. Both, for different reasons.
Anderson, Bates power Sea Dogs to win
In retrospect, Portland's 6-4 victory over the Connecticut Defenders was a microcosm of the season for Aaron Bates and to an extent for Lars Anderson.
Bates cracked three singles in five at-bats and drove in two runs while Anderson was 2-for-5 (single, double) with an RBI.
And manager Arnie Beyeler continued his "mix-and-match" routine Sunday with T.J. Large and Bryce Cox who combined to make a winner out of starter Jarod Plummer (4-1).
BOS 8, TOR 2: Wide awake
Change can often be difficult. The Boston Red Sox lineup adapted quite easily.
TOR 5, BOS 3: Crash landing
Rocco Baldelli hit a two-run homer in the second inning. Then, in the the fifth inning, Baldelli crashed into a wall trying to catch a foul ball. That's exactly how Boston's game went as well. The Red Sox were on pace for a win with a 3-1 cushion over Toronto. Then, Ramon Ramirez hit a wall in the seventh inning.
TOR 6, BOS 3: Long overdue
Casey Janssen had been waiting a long time for this.
BOS 3, MIN 1: You’re outtah here!
Home plate umpire Todd Tichenor just skyrocketed up the ESPN umpire ejection fantasy league standings.
MIN 4, BOS 2: Wild Thing
The Boston Red Sox did their best impression of Rick Vaughn in a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
