Salty watches one his of 2 home runs, go deep into center field
The Red Sox beat the Angels 10-5 Sunday, and took the series, 2 out of 3 games. The Sox played great, getting 11 hits and 10 runs, including 4 home runs, from Ortiz, Salty who hit two, and Carp. Ellsbury went 1-4, with a triple, his 6th of the season and an RBI, Nava and Pedroia each got an RBI, Ortiz went 2-4 with three RBI's, Salty went 2-4 with 4 RBI's, Carp went 1-3 with an RBI, Iglesias went 2-4... And then there was Napoli who went 0-4 with 4 strikeouts, and has been a little slump lately. Dempster did OK, probably good, a quality start, giving up 6 hits 3 runs, 2 walks, struck out 6, and gave up two home runs, earning his 4th win to become 4-6 on the year. The bullpen was good, except for Uehara who gave up 1 hit, 2 runs, walked 2, and hit a batter in 0.2 innings of work. Bailey came into the 9th, to finish the game, and he did good, striking out 2 and walking one.
Dempster accomplished a feat, few active pitchers have accomplished as of now, and that is, he earned his 2,000th strikeout of his career last game. Anyways, Ortiz hit his team leading, 13th home run, and 48th RBI. Yes he leads both, and man, he's been in a hot streak lately, homering in his last 3 out of 4 games in which the Red Sox won those 3 games. Also, Pedroia and Iglesias have also been great lately, and are both riding on a 13 game hitting streak, a career high hitting streak for Iglesias. Tonight, will see the Red Sox travel to Tampa Bay, as they take on the Rays, on this 7 game road trip. John Lackey (3-5, 2.79 ERA) and the Red Sox will face Alex Cobb (6-2, 2.39 ERA) and the Rays in one of the best ballparks out their right now, of course I'm only joking... Or am I? Well, as the Rays look to win this one to slowly climb up the standings, hopefully the Sox will look earn their 40th win tonight!
