Game 76: Sox 4 Bucs 6

Sox just couldn't find their mojo in this game. Three home runs in the game (Gonzalez, Reddick, and Ellsbury) but they're all solo shots. It didn't help having to play NL rules as Wakefield was a waste of at bats and unfortunately, so was Scutaro batting ahead of him, going 0-4. NESN also kindly reminded us that the Sox were 0-8 on the day with RISP and 0-16 for the series so far. We've lost our mojo!

Wakefield had one of those knuckleball games, cruising for a few innings, running into trouble (especially whenever someone got on base) and got tagged for 5 runs over 6 innings. Most of the damage came from a 3-run home run by Overbay but the biggest problem for Wake today was the walks. He struggles with runners on so giving up 4 free passes is a problem. Albers gave up his first home run of the season and breaks a 77 inning homerless stretch (impressive!). Bard pitches a clean 1 1/3.

Well, it's really frustrating losing back to back series, especially to the Padres and Pirates. We gotta get a win tomorrow so we have some momentum going into the Phillies series. Miller's pitching next. Let's find our mojo!
