This game was looking like a heartbreaker with all of the bad luck the Sox were getting (that ricochet to start the game on Youk's would be double, Crisp's double, PApi's double play, Manny's would-be homerun, Nixon's 412ft fly-out) but it all got turned around, it seemed, with that little basehit by Lowell that just found a hole. The Royals were getting runs off of the same type of hits but everything the Red Sox hit, hard or soft, was finding gloves. Then, of course, the strike 2 call on Mirabelli which should have been ball 4. And then Papi's hit in the 8th which bounced over the first baseman's head to set-up Manny's sac-fly.

Lost in this though is the fact that Wake couldn't make it into the 5th inning. I imagine he's going to have to go on the DL and somebody may get called up. I would have guessed Dave Pauley but he's been struggling at Triple A. Perhaps Ginter?
