Red Sox Offense Among the Stat Leaders

The Red Sox have been hitting the ball very well to start the season and now 4 of the regular starters are in the top ten in average for Major League Baseball. Manny leads the MLB batting .356, Pedroia is second batting .351, Youk is third batting .345, and Lugo is tenth batting .321. When you look at RBI's, Manny and Big Papi are tied for fifth with 20. Ellsbury is third in the majors in steals with 8.

Now the Sox head to Tampa with Wake on the mound. Wakefield always pitches well at Tropicana Field and the Rays are always good to face when the team needs a lift. In other news Justin Masterson was sent back to AA but don't be surprised if he is back on the team before year's end.
