The Red Sox (29-20) beat the Indians (27-20) 8-1 Friday night. In what was a rainy day in Boston, the game was played out, and got a 45 minute rain delay and started at 7:50. Lackey did great, giving up 2 total hits through 7 innings, 3 walks, and striking out 8, earning his 3rd win (3-4). The run was unearned due to a throwing error trying to get the runner at third from Salty. Anyways, the offense was quiet through the first part of the game, besides Mike Carp's home run. They scored 5 more runs later though, 1 in the 6th, and 4 in the 7th to make it 8-1 Ellsbury went 1-4 with 2 RBI's, Pedroia went 2-4 with 2 RBI's, Napoli went 1-4 with 1 RBI, and Carp went 1-2 with 3 RBI's. Also Iglesias who made his major league start at third base, went 1-3 with 2 strikeouts, and his was defense was good but he did not get much action at third. Also some bad news, no matter how good he does, nobody likes him anymore, Alfredo Aceves was called up to fill a spot in on the roster and he came in the 9th, and pitched a scoreless 9th.
This was a pretty good game to be at despite the weather conditions, considering I was there, and Abudi and Anthony. The offense was just there and so was the pitching. Anyways, some other news, Ross was moved off the 7 day concussion list, Victorino (right hamstring strain) and Middlebrooks (lower back strain) were placed on the 15 day DL, and the two people filling in the roster spots were Aceves and Iglesias. Well, tomorrow, Jon Lester (6-1) will be on the mound tomorrow to take on the Indians in this 4 game series.
