Count on J.D. Drew. I bet you never thought we would say that, but Red Sox Nation is after Drew drove in the go-ahead run yesterday to beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1. In a low scoring affair Drew deposited a solo home run into the center field bleachers giving Boston a...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...
