| The Red Sox bullpen proves to be an adventure once again, but the Sox still come away with the 6-5 win over the Angels. It takes 4 men to get 3 outs in the 8th, and they allow 4 runs and allow the tying run to get to 3rd in the process. Curt Schilling started the inning by striking out Macier Izturis, but then allowed a home run to Gary Matthews Jr. to make it a 6-2 game. With 2 big right handed hitters due up in Orlando Cabrera and Vlad Guerrero, I went to the bullpen and Kyle Snyder. Snyder allowed singles to both of them, followed by a walk to load the bases. Enter Joel Pineiro, who induced a ground ball for a fielder's choice out with an RBI, but then he allowed a triple to Casey Kotchman to make it a one run game. Enter Mike Timlin, who finally got the third out and then gave way to Jonathan Papelbon for the 9th, who earned his 7th save on the season. How did the Red Sox score their 6 runs, you might ask? They got a Dustin Pedroia solo homer in the 3rd, then Pedroia started off a 5 run attack in the 5th with a single. That was followed by a Julio Lugo single, an Eric Hinske RBI double, a 2 RBI David Ortiz single and finally a 2-run Manny Ramirez homer. |
