Dice-K and The Long Ball Win One for the Sox

Dice-K is now undefeated and again the Red Sox have kept the losing streak to 1 game. Matsusaka went 7 strong innings giving up just 2 runs and the pen held it this time; Okajima was perfect in the 6th and Papelbon earned his 11th save in the 9th. The Sox had 12 hits including 3 from Lowrie who was in at short for Lugo. Unfortunately for Lowrie that may have been his last start because Cora is due to return from the DL. Youk, Lowell. Crisp and Lowrie each had homers.
