Game 159: Sox 7, Yanks 4

Sox salvage the day night doubleheader split (of course) in 14 innings. Ellsbury didn't look that good for 13 innings but hit a three run shot in the 14^th to give the Sox the win. That's his third home run of the day for those of you keeping score at home. Lackey did what he needed to to keep the Sox in the game. Six innings, 4 runs, 5 hits, 3 walks, and 4 Ks. Aceves, Bard, Paplebon, Morales, and Dubront all keep the Yankees B-team from scoring through extra frames.

Sox have a 1 game leading coming into the final series against the Orioles. All we need to do is match the Rays for three games. I DO NOT want to see the Rays for a one game playoff, especially now that it's become clear that the Rays would host a one-game playoff.
