We took 2 of 3 from the O's and regained the lead in the AL East at the break. Tampa Bay is starting their fall but I still think they will make it close at the end of the year. The Yanks will also be there so it is shaping up to be a three team race this year. But at least for now, we are on top.
Game 1 we lost 7-3 but it was nice to see Clay back on the mound. The walks killed us as he allowed 5 walks in 5 innings. Delcarmen and Timlin came in and gave 3 runs over the 2 innings they pitched. I still think Timlin is done. Hopefully, Masterson will be back up soon and pitching out of the bullpen to help out in the middle innings.
Game 2 we won 12-1. The game was basically over by the 3rd inning. Youk hit his first ever grand slam and we scored 7 runs in the 3rd inning. Wake again pitched extremely well going 7 innings and giving up only 2 hits.
Game 3 we won 2-1 on DiceK's strong performance. He went 6 innings of shut out baseball, only allowing 4 hits but once again he walked another 5 batters. Papelbon came in and got the save but once again he gave up another 3 hits and allowed a run in getting his save. We were lucky in this win but with Tampa losing, we now have a 1/2 game lead at the break. We are back in first!
