Back In The Saddle

The World is back in order with the Sox sitting atop the A.L. East after a victory over the Rays tonight. Beckett shut down the Rays offense although he still had trouble with his curve at times. He went 6 innings giving up just 1 run with 5 K's and no walks. Once again the bullpen was great and shut out the Rays for the final three innings allowing just one hit. The Sox offense scattered hits around with everyone but Pedroia and Lugo getting into the action. There were fireworks in the game with B.J. Upton getting tossed for arguing balls and strikes and later on Coco and Rays manager Joe Maddon got into a heated exchange across the field after Coco went in hard to second.
