The bats are back
Happy Wednesday.
The Red Sox won in convincing fashion last night, minus another brief bullpen meltdown, to improve to 63-55. They are 1.0 game back of the Wild Card and 6.5 of the division-leading Yankees ( ) in the AL East.
Tanner Houck takes the ball for a slightly early start – 6:10 PM ET – as this is a getaway day without a day off for travel to Baltimore.
Remembering 2004
Game 118: The Red Sox walk off the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 to improve to 66-52. Old nemesis Ted Lilly matched Pedro Martinez for 7.0 innings but Orlando Cabrera doubled in Johnny Damon in the the bottom of the ninth to take this one for Boston.
Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
