J-Bay Delivers Again

Big Papi led off the bottom of the 8th with a double off of the monster and J-Bay drove him in to give the Red Sox the winning run.

Beckett was solid in his outing giving up 3 over 6 innings and the bullpen was excellent. Oki went 1 2/3 innings with no hits and 2 Ks and RR got an out on the 1 batter he faced. Paps made it interesting by giving up a lead-off walk in the 9th followed by a base hit. He then struck out the side to earn his 8th save of the season.

Dustin Pedroia left the game with a strained groin. The team has a travel day tomorrow as they fly out to the West Coast for the last time this season.
