Clay Buchholz went seven strong innings allowing just five hits and one run. Meanwhile, David Ortiz clubbed two home runs. In the fifth, Kevin Youkilis knocked Dan Haren out of the game with a line drive off Haren's arm. Dan lost his ninth, while Clay won his eleventh. David Ortiz has now hit 21 homers this season, and the Sox won 6-3, with Jonathan Papelbon earning his 23rd save.
Victor Martinez made his return last night, going 1-4 for the big club, while Jacoby Ellsbury went 1-3 in the Gulf Coast League. Thankfully, only Ellsbury and Pedroia are left out of the starters on the DL. We can only hope they return soon. Tonight, John Lackey faces his old friends and Jared Weaver in LA.
Trivia
Haren is having a below-average season this year, only 7-9.
