My Comment: Boston wins the series on another ninth inning dramatic score. Toronto made an error and the Red Sox got the winning run in from second. Lots of jumping up and down at first base - great way to end the month of June as the Boston Red Sox become the first American League team to reach fifty wins!

Blue Jays lowlight: Starting pitching
Red Sox highlight: Seven runs in the second
Red Sox lowlight: Four men left on base

My Comment: Boston did cool down the Blue Jays, though they did show some heat towards the end of the game. Another save for Uehara. Lester gets the win and I hope he does not have anything seriously wrong as he had to be taken out of the game with some sort of injury. Good win Boston!

Rockies lowlight: Six men left on base
Red Sox highlight: Sweep
Red Sox lowlight: Seven men left on base

My Comment: The Red Sox are back in sweeping mode as they win both of the games in the two-game series against the Rockies. And Uehara gets his first save as Boston's official closer. Looking good Boston as they host the Blue Jays for four games begining tomorrow. Let's cool down their heat!

Rockies highlight: One homerun
Rockies lowlight: One fielding error
Red Sox highlight: Twenty hits
Red Sox lowlight: Three fielding errors

My Comment: Great homecoming victory! Lots of hits to go around. Amazingly, no Red Sox homeruns, though Stephen Drew would disagree. But he did score the next Boston run - just not the way he thought when the ball left his bat. Boston's twenty hits is their season-high. Keep them coming!

COLORADO: Starting Pitcher: Juan Nicasio; Losing Pitcher: Juan Nicasio
BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Ryan Dempster; Winning Pitcher: Ryan Dempster (5)

My Comment: Not a great sendoff for the Boston Red Sox as they head out on the road. At least they did win the series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hope they do as well when they play the Detroit Tigers begining tomorrow.

Rays highlight: One run
Rays lowlight: Three men left on base
Red Sox highlight: Three homeruns
Red Sox lowlight: Six men left on base

My Comment: Why oh why didn't Farrell keep Doubront in the game? Even though the Red Sox won in dramatic fashion, Dooubront deserved to try for a complete game shutout of the Rays. Instead, the relief pitcher gives up the Rays only run, thus forcing the Red Sox to bat in the bottom of the ninth and the reliever gets the win. It is just not right.

TAMPA BAY: Starting Pitcher: Jake Odorizzi; Losing Pitcher: Joel Peralta
BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Felix Doubront; Winning Pitcher: Andrew Bailey (3)

Red Sox highlight: Back-to-back triples in the sixth
Red Sox lowlight: Eight men left on base

My Comment: A nice victory for the Boston Red Sox on the return to Fenway Park. The three-hour rain delay did not impair the Red Sox when they finally resumed. Just hope this carries over into the second game of the doubleheader. This is a long day of baseball.
