This was a very odd game. I thought Berken and Byrd were going to get lit up, but that didn't happen. Both pitchers pitched at least 5 innings and neither let up more then 3 runs. The game was tied going into the bottom of the 7th. Then Francona brought in V-Mart to pinch hit. He responded with a double scoring 3 runs, on the first pitch! The crowd went wild (yes I was at the game).
Papelbon had to pitched an 1 1/3 to get the save, and even though he let up a run you can't argue with the results which was a another win for the Red Sox, and his 35th save of the season. The Sox are still just 2 games up in the race for the Wild Card, which looks like it will go down to the wire with the Rangers playing very good baseball right now.
