Now that was a relief

After being on the losing end of two fantastic pitching performances by Beckett and Buchholz, the third time proved the charm for the Sox last night. Another pitching duel - this time Jon Lester v. Roy Halladay - another low-offense game. But, the Sox pulled it out in the bottom of the ninth (with two outs, of course) with an RBI single by Youk that scored Big Papi from second. A very exciting climax to a quick game - only 2 hours 18 minutes long - and hopefully the start of good run of victories.

I mean, we're statistically in second place in the AL East - to the Orioles! Yes, yes, it's only April!
