Sweeping the Mariners


Coming off our 3 game losing streak to the Angels, it was nice to finally get back on track against the Mariners. We swept the M's in Seattle and kept pace with Tampa.

The first game we won 4-0 on the strong pitching of Lester and Paps got his 29th save. Manny got 3 hits and Tek is coming back with 2 rbi's as well.

The second game we won 4-2 on the pitching of DiceK and Paps got his 30th save. JD Drew hit a home run and had 2 rbi's as he continues to fill in for Papi. I can't wait for Papi to come back and from what the reports are saying, he should be back in a week or so.

The third game we won 6-3 in 12 innings. Manny sat this one out with a sore knee so Youk had to step up and bat clean up. He did just that going 2-6 and scoring twice with an rbi. Papelbon ran into trouble in the 11th but got out of the jam and got the win. Now an off day then a three game homestand against the Yankees. We can really put them out of this thing if we take care of business over the weekend.
