The Red Sox beat the White Sox 6-2 last night. Buchholz did great, going 7 innings, giving up 5 hits, 1 earned run, 3 walks, and getting 4 strikeouts, earning his 7th win (7-0), and lowering his ERA to 1.73. The offense was OK/good, getting 9 hit and 6 runs. Ortiz went 2-5 WITH A STOLEN BASE (his first since stolen base since 2011) and got 2 RBI's earning his 30th, and 31st RBI. Nava also got 2 RBI's, and Middlebrooks got 1 RBI. Also Ellsbury who has been in a slump, went 2-3 with 2 walks. Andrew Bailey finally, came in the 9th to pitch, to just close the game out, not earn a save, and............. he gave up a home run but then got 3 outs to finish it. So far nothing to worry about, hopefully...
I felt I had to say this, newly added reliever the Sox got this offseason, Koji Uehara, has sort of a tradition when he does good. It's to go in the dugout and basically just get happy and nuts giving everyone high fives. It's hard to explain but if you watch Red Sox games (not Abudi), you would understand. It just gives you the feeling of how close and happy this club/team is, because as of last year, not everyone got along, and it was a mess. Anyways, the return of Terry Francona has arrived and he will be back at Fenway tonight with the Indians. Let's go Red Sox!
