While the Sox hitters didn’t “feast” on A’s pitchers, they did put up 5 runs on 9 hits.
Jason Varitek came through with a key hit, driving in 2 of the Sox runs.
Josh Beckett pitched well, giving up 2 ER in 6.2 innings and picking up his 10th win. Paps picked up the save (his 21st) by striking out the side in the 9th.
An expected, but nonetheless, solid win for the Sox.
