| Your classic slugfest featuring 18 runs and 27 hits, 15 of those hits for extra bases. Both starters in the game, Clay Buchholz for the Sox and Joe Saunders for the Angels are shelled, but Tim wakefield comes through strong in relief for the Sox and stops the bleeding by retiring the first 12 batters to face him. Meanwhile, the offense goes to work scoring six unanswered runs turning a 7-4 Angels lead after 3 1/2 to a 10-7 Sox lead after 7. Wake finally allows his first runner in the 8th inning, at which point Jonathan Papelbon takes over and finally gets that long awaited second save of the year. JD Drew gets three hits, falling a triple shy of the cycle. The win puts the Sox to the .500 mark for the first time this season, continuing a 9-2 run while putting their 4-11 start to the season long behind them. |
