Sox win! Sox batters get 3 runs off of Colon (who looked suspiciously good for a washed up 38 year old) and 2 off of Chamberlin and manage to hold off the Bombers for the win. Buchholz looked in control all game giving up only 2 runs but Bard looked shaky in the 8th giving up another run. Papelbon's line didn't look so good (1 IP, 2 Hs, 1 ER) but seemed to be more a victim of bad luck than anything else. Jeter and Granderson hit some pretty good pitches.
At the plate, Gonzalez hit a monster shot to right in the 4th and Youkilis hit a two-run homer off of Joba in the 7th. Every Red Sox had a hit except Crawford and as a team they worked 5 walks. So overall a great job of being patient, working the pitcher, and getting pitches to hit.
Sabathia and Beckett in a tilt next. Should be exciting!
