The Red Sox beat the Astros, once again, 8-4, Saturday night. Doubrant didn't get off to the best start in this one, giving up 2 runs in the first innings, walking 3 batters, hitting 1 batter, and throwing a wild pitch, all on 1 hit. So mainly, it was his location that was his trouble, again, but he settled down nice and fine throughout the rest of the game. When he finished his outing at 6.2 innings pitched, he had given up, 4 hits, 3 runs, 4 walks, and got 8 strikeouts, another quality start we can say. The bullpen was pretty stellar throughout the night except for Daniel Bard, who walked 2 batters, and gave up a run, back to the old Bard... Anyways, a lot of people did good, including Ortiz who went 2 for 3 with 3 RBI's and Middlebrooks who went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's. Pedroia also did good going 2 for 3 with an RBI. Andrew Miller came in the 9th to finish the game out and he will save our bullpen work for today.
Anyways, John Lackey will be making his return from the 15 day disabled list and will be starting today when the game starts at 1:35. Hopefully Lackey shows positive signs and does good because I don't think we can handle these injuries anymore with Lackey. Let's get the sweep Red Sox!
