The Red Sox won 6-5 against the Athletics Wednesday, notice how I didn't say night BECAUSE this game started at 4. Anyways, Lester started this game and well, this start was hard to determine. I mean he gave up 6 hits and 3 runs in 5.2 innings. He also got 5 strikeouts but walked 6 people, which is bad. So maybe he wasn't feeling it tonight, maybe he didn't have control but anyways, I'll give him a quality start, earning his 4th win of the season, and 4-0 record all together. The offense did pretty good, Napoli got his 26th RBI off a double, going 1 for 2. And Stephen Drew, who has been struggling, got a triple and went 1 for 4, with 2 RBI's. The bullpen was once again struggling tonight, mainly Junichi Tazawa and Koji Uehara. Tazawa gave up a run and Uehara gave up a home run. But Bailey would come into the 9th to preserve the 6-5 lead, and get us the win, earning his 5th save of the season. There was a questionable hit in which, A's Jed Lowrie hit a ball that went off the chalk but was said to be foul. And if you look at where the ball went, it hit the chalk therefore being fair, but the umpires still ruled it a foul.
Anyways, with this win the Red Sox will be at home for 4 more games against the Houston Astros, who are a struggling and bad team. Clay Buchholz will be looking to earn his 5th win of the season tomorrow against the Astros, and if he does win, he will be the first pitcher in the league or AL (if Matt Harvey, Met's pitcher, loses tonight) to earn 5 wins, and will also be 5-0. Anyways, let's get 4 an easy 4 wins Red Sox!
