Game 70: Brew Crew 4 Sox 2

Well, that game just goes to show you that baseball is not fair. Lester has essentially the same line as Lackey yesterday and gets tagged with the L. He got knocked around early in the first giving up back to back solo shots and then gave up another solo home run in the 3rd. By the 4th inning, he settled down and had a final line of 8 innings 4 Rs (3 earned), 7 Hs, 3 BBs, and 8 Ks. Wheeler, Hottovy, and Bowden each get an out to finish the 9th.

The runs were short of winning the game though. There were a lot of hits against Wolf but he did a good job of spreading them out to avoid any damage. Saltalamacchia and Cameron drove the offense getting 2-out hits in the 2nd. You know it's either a high scoring day or a very low scoring day if those two names are the offensive highlights. Gonzalez seemed to struggle which was odd 1) because he's amazingly good, but also because b) he's got the most NL experience on the team.

Oh well. Rubber game will be Wakefield v Gallardo. Gallardo's been awesome of late but the Brewers probably haven't seen anything like Wakefield's knuckler before.
