Game 109: Tribe 3 Sox 4

Another walkoff from Ellsbury! Sox struggled all game to push people across the plate but Ellsbury saved the day by hitting a solo shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, his 18th HR of the season. Sox had managed to collect 9 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings against the Indians' starter but could only get three runs out of it. Pedroia and Gonzalez had multi-hit games again and Reddick continues to hit well going 2-2 with a walk.

Wakefield started but still couldn't find win no. 200. He went 6 2/3 innings but ran into trouble in the 7th inning. Jason Kipnis hit another home run for the Indians in the 4th; I swear he's hit a home run in every game this series. Randy Williams somehow managed to pitch well in relief to finish the 7th and 8th. Papelbon pitched a perfect 9th and got his 2nd win in a row.

Ellsbury's really turned it on this year. He's been a real star in CF and gives the Sox so much depth. Sox try to win the series next before hosting the Yankees this weekend.
