The Red Sox beat the Yanees 11-1 Saturday night and it was the long ball that helped them win this one, as Napoli, Nava, and Drew each hit one, and Nap's home run was a grand slam. Doubrant (4-2) went 6 innings giving up 6 hits, 1 run, 3 walks, struck out 6 and earned the win. This was a good start for him as he proved he could be good. The offense was very very good last night getting 18 hits, AND 11 runs. Some players that did good were Nava who went 4-6 with 4 RBI's, Carp 2-3 with an RBI, Napoli 3-5 with 4 RBI's, Drew 2-5 with an RBI, Iglesias 2-5 with an RBI, and Jackie Bradley Jr 3-5. The game was great, our bullpen was great giving up no more hits, and it was just a good game for the Red Sox, as it proved a statement to the Yankees.
As for Ellsbury, he was out again yesterday but will hopefully be back today. Anyways, the Red Sox took their 2 game lead over the Yankees again to remain in first place. You want to know how close the AL East division is? The Rays are only 3 games back, the Orioles are 2.5 games back, the Yankees are 2 games back, and well except for the Blue Jays, they are 10.5 games back. Well, for today;s game Buchholz (7-0, 1.73 ERA) will face Hiroki Kuroda (6-3, 2.39 ERA) and the Yankees and will try to lead the Sox to another win. Let's go Red Sox!
