About the Boston Red Sox
Yesterday, the #BostonRedSox, Eastern Division leaders of the American League (now with a record of 61 wins, 41 losses, and a composite UBWS (#UnlessBigWinningStreak) score of +32.0), won their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, holders of one of the American League wild cards for the playoffs (now with a record of 59 wins, 42 losses, and a composite UBWS score of +29.2). The final score of the game was 6-2, in favor of Boston.
Tampa Bay scored its first run in the top of the second inning, due to a solo home run, and its second run in the top of the fifth inning, also due to a home run with nobody on base. Meanwhile, the Red Sox matched Tampa Bay's first run with one of their own in the bottom of the same inning, followed by another run in the bottom of the third inning, and a third run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Boston's last three (3) runs scored in the eighth inning to ensure the win.
Boston's Jon Lester pitched 6.1 good innings, allowing just the two (2) runs previously mentioned. The following three (3) relievers, Matt Thornton, Junichi Tazawa, and Koji Uehara collectively pitched the final 2.2 innings, not allowing any more runs to score.
Boston's batters had twelve (12) hits. David Ortiz, Mike Napoli, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia had two (2) hits each. Five (5) of the other six (6) starting batters also had a hit. Only Dustin Pedroia did not get his hit. However, he was active in the game. He got on base by being hit with a pitch, stole a base, and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Four (4) different players drove in Boston's six (6) runs.
Yesterday in the Eastern Division, Boston and the New York Yankees won their games. Tampa Bay, Baltimore, and Toronto lost their games.
