The offense finally broke out tonight, or at least JD Drew & Dustin Pedroia did. The first two batters in the Sox order went a combined 8-for-9 with 8 RBIs against the Giants. Pedroia just continues to impress and amaze me. Five-for-5, 5 RBIs, he's the 1st Red Sox rookie to get five hits since Brian Daubach in 1999, pretty impressive stuff for a guy fans wanted benched in favor of Alex Cora a month ago. He also out-homered Barry Bonds: 1-to-0.
Boy did the fans let Barry have it. Loud, constant booing, frequent "ster-oids!" chants, it was fantastic.
The reverse lock theory lives: Barry Zito vs Julian Tavarez, of course Tavarez wins.
Of course the fans went crazy for Roberts.
Oh, what's that? Roger pitched well for the Yankees, but Oliver Pérez and the rest of the Mets bullpen shut out the Bombers 2-0. The lead goes back up to 8.5 games.
