Another great pitching outing from the Sox, this time from Lackey. He goes 8 strong shutout innings and pretty much looked in control all day (6 Ks, 1 BB, 6 Hs). Wheeler finished the game in the 9th with a clean frame. Yes, we had a big lead but it was still nice to see him finally pitch well.
Sox bats came alive with a 2-run homer from Crawford, his first of the year. Gonzalez also went 3-5 with a double and 2 RBI. Scutaro also hit some balls hard and collected 2 hits. Those batting averages in the box score are starting to look more respectable. Well, they're at least looking bigger than the players' weights now.
Sox get the day off before finishing the road trip in Baltimore. Hopefully the pitching will keep putting zeros on the scoreboard and the hot bats stay on fire.
