Felix Doubront was taking the mound for the Sox and hoping to lead the team to their second win in a row. Doubront has been nothing short of impressive this season and last night would be no different.

Doubront seemed in control from the beginning of the game. Doubront was throwing up zeroes on the scoreboard inning after inning. The Indians weren’t able to get anything from him until the 6th inning. Doubront gave up an RBI single to Kipnis, but that would be it for the Tribe. Doubront ended up throwing 109 pitches, 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BBs, 5 Ks. It was a great performance for Doubront. Andrew Miller came out in relief of Doubront and continued to look impressive. Miller pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the 7th. Padilla pitched a scoreless 8th and then Aceves came on for the 9th. Aceves pitched a 1-2-3 10 pitch inning. The pitching last night looked like a team that might be able to do something.
The bats had a little bit going on too. In the 3rd, the Sox got on the board with RBI doubles from Pedey and Papi. Sox 2-0. The Sox added a 3rd run in the 4th with a sac fly from Aviles. Sox 3-0. After the Indians scored a run in the 6th, the Sox immediately got that run back in the bottom of the 6th with a solo HR from Cody Ross over the Monster. Sox 4-1. That is all the Sox pitching would need.
Game over. Sox win. Water Dirty.
Red Sox 4 Indians 1 BOXSCORE
