My Comment: No ninth inning walk-off drama for the Red Sox tonight. Guess three in a rwo is a little too much to expect, though they did have that possibility of a ninth inning win. Boston will have the chance to even the series tomorrow. Maybe they can have early innings drama for a change of pace.

BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Jon Lester; Losing Pitcher: Pedro Beato (1)
ARIZONA: Save: Braid Zeigler
