Game 125: Sox 4 Royales 9

Dang it! Wakefield must be snakebitten. Sox have the three run lead going into the bottom of the 6th and still have a one run lead when Wakefield gets pulled with one out but Albers gives up 5 runs in 1/3 of an inning to get the loss and blow Wakefield's win. Wakefield didn't look great (5.1 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 3 K) but it should have been enough. It's tough winning when you give up an 8 spot in any inning. Morales and Wheeler teamed up to finish the game.

Ellsbury didn't play today after getting hit in the back yesterday by a pitch. So the offense was really missing the punch you'd expect to see. Scutaro led off and McDonald batted 2nd. Still, the offense did okay with what they had. Everyone got a hit except Scutaro and Gonzalez. Lavarnway got 2 hits and his first RBI of his career. Overall though, a quite night at the plate.

There goes the sweep but Lester's on the mound next so we gotta win the series.
