Good Lackey indeed! Six and 2/3 shutout innings and I thought he could have gotten the last out in the 7th. Three hits, 1 BB, and 7 Ks. When he's good. he's good. Too bad we don't see this more consistently. He also hit two batters but none of them were even close to intentional so yesterday's fireworks did not spill over to today. Bard pitched 1 1/3 clean innings and Papelbon finished the 9th in the non-save situation.
Ellsbury continues to be en fuego going 3 for 4 just a home run shy of the cycle. Youkilis is also seeing the ball well going 3-4 as well. And of course, Reddick is forcing Tito to play him by going 3-4 too. Youkilis and Reddick pretty much provided all the offense today and not much was needed with the way Lackey pitched.
Three wins so far. Going for the sweep!
