- Dan Wheeler came off the DL list and Michael Bowden was sent back down to AAA to make room.
- Iglesias was sent back down to Pawtucket and Drew Sutton was brought up in his place. Apparently Scutaro is going to be injured for longer than originally thought and it didn't make sense to have Iglesias riding the pine the entire time.
- Sox acquired Franklin Morales from the Rockies for cash considerations (aka a bucket of balls) and Okajima was DFA'd to make room for him on the 40 man roster. Seems like a pretty lateral move to me and I feel bad for Okajima getting jerked around this year.
During the game, Lester did not look very ace like giving up 5 runs, 12 hits, and 2 walks in 6 IP. The Cubs had at least two runners on every inning Lester pitched. He was bailed out by the hot batters who took care of business against weak pitching from the Cubs. Gonzalez continues to rip it with 4 hits. Youkilis hit a two run home run and Saltalamacchia added a solo shot. Both home runs were over the Monster and both of them were absolutely crushed. Ellsbury seemed to be on base all the time and Pedroia finally found his stroke as well. Cameron was the only starter to go hit-less. Nice to see the Sox finally put up some crooked numbers and win easily after so many close games.
Aceves is making a spot start with Matsuzaka on the DL. He;ll be going up against Zambrano. Sox and Cubs will be wearing 1918 throwback uniforms; both jerseys look AWFUL.
