Home Sweet Home! We swept the Twins at Fenway and continue winning ways at home. We just can't seem to win many games on the road. To win in the playoffs, we have to solve this problem away from home. Anyway, it was a good series and we have another one coming up at home against Baltimore so hopefully we can wrap up the first half back in first.
Game 1 we won 1-0 on Manny's rbi single in the 8th. DiceK pitched well and only walked 3 batters and he lasted until the 8th inning going 7.1 innings. Papelbon came in and got the save easily. We are just a different team at home. Things just seem to always go our way at Fenway.
Game 2 we won 6-5 scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th. Manny tied the game up with a 2 run home run in the bottom of the 8th and we later scored the go ahead run on a Brandon Moss base hit. I love watching this type of game. Come from behind in the late innings and get the win. Watching this game, I just seemed to know what was going to happen. Even down 5-2 in the bottom of the 8th, something just felt right about it. It was a good win.
Game 3 we won 18-5. Of all the games I couldn't watch, it had to be this one. Unfortunately, this was a day game and I was busy at work and didn't even have time to check on the computer to get an update until after the game was over. Beckett started off shaky again giving up another 3 first inning runs. But our offense came alive with 23 hits including 7 doubles, a triple and 2 home runs.
Now it is an off day then three at home against the O's.
