Game 79: Sox 1 Phanatics 2

Ugh. Sox can't get anything going against the Phillies' number 6 starter. Worley spread out 5 hits and 2 BBs over 7 innings and only give up one run. And to add insult to injury, the one run came from a double from Lackey of all people. Reddick was really the only person who seemed comfortable out there going 2-3. Sox had Gonzalez play left and Ortiz play first to get some more offense but to no avail.

Lackey actually pitched really well giving up only 2 runs on 8 hits and 1 walk over 7 2/3 innings. And even then, Lackey really only struggled to get Ibanez out who was a triple shy of the cycle and knocked in both of the Phillies' runs. Morales got the last out in a game which should have been a complete game from Lackey.

Gotta avoid the sweep tomorrow in what is becoming a messy interleague series for the Sox. We'll send Lester but the Phillies will have Hamels on the bump.
