My Comment: Well the Red Sox did do more hitting, had no errors and scored more runs than yesterday, but they still ended up on the losing side of the score. They will have to win the next two games to get a split of the series. Boston can do it!

My Comment: Though the Red Sox didn't manage to eke out a win, they did manage to score a run in the ninth to avoid a shutout. Need more hitting, less errors if Boston is going to win tomorrow's game and even the series.
