Victorino drives in 2 runs in the fourth inning
The Red Sox beat the Tigers 10-6 and collected 17 hits total in the game, Friday night. Another shaky outing from Lester as he went 5.2 innings giving up 9 hits, 5 runs, 3 walks, and struck out 2. He also gave up 2 home runs, one being Miguel Cabrera, if that matters. He would luckily earn the win as the offense was there to save him, but another reason why wins and losses are a decisive stat. Our offense was great, and it all started from the first inning when Victorino homered his 3rd of the season and he was just on fire tonight, I'll get to that later. The Sox would score 9 more runs through the rest of the game. Here's the stats for offense, Ellsbury went 2-5 with 2 RBI's, Victorino went 4-5 with 5 RBI's, Pedroia went 2-5 1 RBI, Napoli went 2-5, Drew went 3-5, and Iglesias went 3-5 with a triple, once again proving himself to the Red Sox this year. Victorino had a monstrous night collecting 4 hits, and it was a great game for our offense. Our bullpen was OK, except for Miller who gave up a hit, a run, and a walk, but did strike out 1. This was in the 9th inning, in a non save situation, but no worries for him yet.
So the Red Sox picked up the win and got a 2 game lead over the second place Orioles. One team that has been on a tear and roll lately has been the Blue Jays who are currently 36-36, 7 games back of first place and are on a 9 game winning streak. Hopefully they go back to losing... Anyways, Allen Webster who has made 2 career starts in the MLB, both coming this season, his last one being very bad, will pitch tomorrow for the Red Sox as he will be taking Buchholz missed start and he will hopefully look to regain himself and pitch much better.
