The Red Sox lost to the Orioles Friday night, 2-0, and totaled 3 total hits, yes only 3. It was yet another frustrating night as they just could not produce offense against the O's Chris Tillman and were 1-7 with runners in scoring position all together. Iglesias was the only Sox batter to pick up 2 hits going 2-4. Victorino was the only other Sox player to get a hit going 1-3. Anyways an upside to this was that Nava earned a highlight reel play chasing down a foul ball and making the catch in the bottom of the 7th. Iglesias would ground out into a game ending double play to get Jim Johnson's 24th MLB leading save, and the first time the Sox have been shutout by the Orioles since 2006, I am not lying... Dempster pitched very well going 7.2 innings giving up 5 hits, 2 runs, walking five though, and struck out 4. He took the loss to go to 4-7 on the season.
Anyways, with that loss, the Sox have lost two straight to the O's and now sit only 1.5 games up in first place, second being the Orioles... What a coincidence? The Red Sox also have a 41-28 record, and 1-4 record against the Orioles this season, I hate versing the division, and I hate having a competitive division. Lackey (3-5, 3.14 ERA), will be on the mound tomorrow and will try to get the Sox the win, hopefully he does.
