Sox-Reds Update

Lester has better control to start the game and is getting the curve ball over the plate for strikes today but some hitters are getting to him. He has given up 4 hits and 1 run 2 innings. At the plate Kevin Cash gets a 2 run single giving the Sox a 2-1 lead.

Update: Lester goes 3 strong innings giving up 4 hits, 1 run, 2 K's, and 1 walk.....Oki comes in and retires them in order (the "Doki-Doki" seems to be working). Delcarmen take the hill for the 5th and gets 3 quick outs including 2 K's.

Update 2: Lopez gets shelled... gives up 4 hits, a walk, 5 runs, and beans a batter in 1 inning...Sox now losing 6-2

Update 3: Sox battle back with 4 runs in the 7th but end up losing 7-6.

The good: Lester, Oki, and Delcarmen all pitch well.
The bad: Pedroia and Tek go a combined 0-6 with 3 K's and 5 L.O.B.
The ugly: Lopez gets a blown save giving up 5 runs in 1 inning
