Anyone see Lowell's catch last night in the 3rd inning?

[Blue56]

5-3 Orioles, definetly not Johnson's night.

[Blue56]

Tied game in the 9th, 7-7. Willy Mo Pena has had a terrific game, going 3 for 4, 1 home run. 3 Runs, 3Rbi's and a single shy from the cycle, which could happen if the sox go in x-tra innings.

Sox win!!!!
Manny's game winning hit gives the sox an 8-7 edge over the Orioles and extends his hitting streak to 27 games!!!!! Papelbon improves to 4-2.

[Thedatch]

word...27 game hitting streak

[BostonRedSox58]

Johnson showed promise from his prior start.....but he's returned to form.

What happened to Kason Gabbard? The lefty, had one good start......try him again Tito.

a 3 lefty rotation can good if used correctly against teams that struggle with them.

[Blue56]

A tough week ahead: Detroit and New York. Hopefully our pitching kicks in and the offence keeps on runnin'.
