There have not been many games like this for the Red Sox this season; solid pitching and timeley offense.
Clay Buchholz threw well going eight innings and allowing just two earned runs. Daniel Bard came in for the ninth and earned his first save of the season.
David Ortiz kept the laser show going with a two-run tater in the fourth. We now know why Francona is the manager and we are not.
