The Red Sox beat the Yankees Wednesday night 7-4. The Red Sox led throughout most of the game until Buchholz was done for the night. The game was running smoothly for us, BUT OH LOOK WHO COMES IN TO RELIEF, ALFREDO ACEVES! Aceves came in the 8th inning and let up a 2 run home run, wow just wow, I have nothing to say, except, GET RID OF HIM! Anyways, new closer Joel Hanrahan would get out of trouble in the 9th and secure the win to earn his first save of the season. He looked a little shaky at first, but he settled down.

| Iglesias, SS | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | .556 |
So Buchholz did pretty good tonight. Also, rookie, Jackie Bradley Jr got his first major league hit last night, which was an RBI. Man, our line up is looking good. The Red Sox are going to have to make a decision whether to keep Jackie Bradley Jr and Jose Iglesias in the big leagues, or send them down to the minors once Stephen Drew and David Ortiz come back and are healthy. Also, this was the first time since 1999 the Red Sox have started the season out 2-0, looking good, looking good... Anyways, the Red Sox will look to get the 3 game sweep tonight of the Yankees, lets get em'!
