Game 48: Sox 4 Tribe 2

Sox finally beat the Indians. Beckett was awesome per his usual this year. 6 and 2/3 innings, 1 ER, 6 Ks, 5 hits, and 3 walks. Hill pitched 1 and 1/3 in relief (a risky proposition on Francona's part) and Papelbon gave up only a solo home run earning the save.

Varitek essentially gave the Sox the win with a 2-run HR in the 7th. Speed on the base paths gave us two runs in the 3rd (Ellsbury and Crawford both steal second in the inning to get in scoring position). Ortiz lead the charge with two doubles on a night when there wasn't much offense. Sox put together 4 runs on 5 hits and a walk as Carmona looked good again.

Good. I'm glad we finally got that win under the belt. Let's get the series win tomorrow. Lester pitching. Be an ace.
