Last night Brad Penny started for the Sox against Toronto looking great, going 6.2 innings, 9 hits allowed, 2 earned runs and 2 strikeouts, getting his 4th win of the season making him 4-1. Sweet!!! The bats came alive with Varitek hitting 2 home runs, Bay "watch"(continues his MVP season) 2-3 hit another homer, Lowell 2-4 hit a bomb and the biggest hit of the night which Boston has desperately needed and been waiting for was David "Big Papi" Ortiz's first homer of the year!
Hopefully this will turn Big Papi's year around and get him going, which is exactly what the Sox need. So with 5 homers last night and great pitching, the Sox look like the team to beat in the Americian League and are now only 1 1/2 games behind Toronto for 1st place. We can make it a 1/2 game with a win tonight with Lester (2-4) vs Ray (1-1) at Fenway at 7:10 in the last game of this 3 game series versus the Blue Jays. Let's go Lester and the Sox.
