Unfortunately, the Red Sox could not provide enough run support to give Felix Doubront his second win, as the Rays beat the Sox 3-2. Doubront gave up only two runs over 5 and 2/3 innings, but Hideki Okajima gave up a run, so Eric Patterson's RBI triple left the Sox one short. David Ortiz was intentionally walked in his final three times at bat, even with a man on first. The Red Sox, because of the Yankee win, fell to 3.5 games behind New York, and 1.5 games behind the Rays in the wild card. The Sox try to avert a sweep tonight, facing the All-Star David Price.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard that Kevin Youkilis had to leave the game after fouling a pitch off his ankle. Luckily, it was not serious, and he will be in the starting lineup tonight.
Trivia
Did you Know:
Nieuman Romero, Youk's replacement, had only had 14 career at-bats entering the game?
The Red Sox have now lost three straight games?
