Late Rally Comes Up Short

David Ortiz hit a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 9th to bring the Sox within 2 but that was as close as they would come. The bullpen gave away a win today as a group; Okajima had a blown save and the rest of the bullpen was tagged for 6 runs. Lugo's hit streak came to an end, Manny went 3-5, Coco just missed hitting 2 home runs, and Papi is among the league leaders in RBI's now. On what should have been a day to celebrate a series victory and the outstanding debut of Justin Masterson, the Sox will leave town knowing they let one get away.
