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.
MIN 5, BOS 2: Lester loses it in fifth
Jon Lester has a case of the Dice-K syndrome.
SEA 5, BOS 4: Ichiro blasts Mariners to win
Don't be fooled, Ichiro can certainly hit the long ball too.
Drew about to get hot.
When Drew was posed the question on whether or not he was going to bust out: "Hopefully," Drew said. "I feel like I've had some really good swings. I'm not necessarily getting the results. When I get my pitch, have to do something with it."
BOS 4, LAA 3: Triple
The Red Sox didn't want to be the only Boston team to lose tonight.
BOS 7, TAM 3: Bottom of the Sixth
Opposing teams must fear the sixth inning against the Boston Red Sox.
Patience is a gift, use it right.
Pitch 4: Breaking ball, out of the strike zone, check-swing, strike three. I am not upset because Drew struck out, it happens to him, it happens to everyone. But it would have been a good move to at least try and hit that fastball that Wood gave you.
It’s early, but the stats still exist.
Dustin Pedroia: OPS+ 86: Speaking of picking it up...I guess that is what the Orioles pitching staff allows a hitter to do. Although, I do not want to dismiss the offensive explosion of the last few days completely.
After all, they did "rock" Orioles "Ace" Jeremy Guthrie, and last time I checked, he is a pretty good pitcher. But anyway, Pedroia has reached base 10 times in the past four games. His OBP is now roughly league-average, and his slugging has broken the .400 mark. And both of those categories should only improve from here on out.
