The Redsox dropped game 2 last night in the worst possible way. The Redsox walked in the winning run to lose game 2 in Detroit. Even more than that, the Rays, Yankees, and Bluejays still won, to move Boston back another game.
Lester did well, going 7 full innings allowing 4 earned runs on 4 hits and striking out 10. Manny Delcarmen received the loss last night in the game, due to him owning Magglio Ordonez who walked home on the 3-0 pitch from Ramon Rameriez. Ramon walked home the winning run on a 4-0 count.
I am not quite sure who to blame, weather its the offense for not producing against the pitching staff of the Tigers, or the Bullpen for not holding onto the tie. The offense had more than enough chances to gain runs, I.E. had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs, when there was a pop out, and JD Drew grounded into a double play to end the inning.
David Ortiz and Adrian Beltre were the only sox players with multiple hits. Ortiz who went 3 for 6 with 2 RBI's and a run scored, and Beltre went 2 for 5 with a run scored. Redsox had a total of 9 hits in 12 innings of play.
Boston will play an afternoon game tomorrow in Detroit before flying to the Bronx. Boston will have John Lackey(4-1) against Armando Galaragga(0-0). Galaragga had just been called up from AAA after Detroit put Scott Sizemore and Max Scherzer to AAA.
