The Red Sox beat the Oakland A's 9-6 last night. The long balls helped the Sox win this one. The first home run for the Sox came in the 4th inning when Middlebrooks hit his 5th of the year, a 3 run homer, into the green monster seats. The second one came when Napoli hit it also to the green monster seats for a grand slam. And after that, the crowd got going, the Red Sox got going, and they never looked backed... Well until the 8th inning when the A's would get 3 runs but Bailey would come in to earn his 4th save of the season. Also, Doubrant did good, you could say a quality start because of the 5 walks he issued out, because if it wasn't for those walks he probably would have only given up 1 or 2 runs. He also got 8 strikeouts on the night.
Anyways, Joel Hanrahan pitched a bullpen session yesterday and he did OK. So I would consider that a good sign considering his return is soon. Also, John Lackey pitched a rehab start in Double A Portland. He will pitch one more rehab start in Triple A Pawtucket before returning to the Sox's rotation. The Red Sox will face the A's today at 6:30 again and will be looking to earn another win. Also, I've decided not to put stats in my posts anymore, I am just going to do recaps and summaries.
