Joe Castiglione called it the most exciting game of the season. The Red Sox came from behind twice tonight to keep the winning streak going. Jacoby Ellsbury was the hero of the game by hitting 2 homers and scoring the winning run after reaching on a bunt single.
Pauley struggled early but the Sox got him off the hook with a home run by Youkilis. Okajima had a big strikeout of Vlad in the 7th but he gave up the game tying home run on his first pitch of the 8th. Timlin relieved him in the eighth and earned the win, Papelbon had a save in the 9th.
Every starter of tonight’s game besides Ortiz and Cash are batting above .300 and Lugo now has an 8 game hit streak. Pedroia has been on fire and continued to stay hot going 4-5 and hitting the go ahead double in the bottom of the 8th. The Sox are on an incredible run, enjoy it while it lasts.
