Leon, a 177 hitter in the lineup????  Why are we giving the Yankees three or four free outs?  Well the rest of the team had better have their hitting shoes on and Chris be on his game.  At least we're playing at home and that should be an edge or sorts for us.

Leon will be in until his next at bat after Sale is done.  Good start, but he’s throwing a lot of pitches already.

Couldn’t ask for a much better 1st inning.  Keep the pedal to the metal!

Great play by Betts, followed by his leadoff double, then a terrific bunt by Beni.  The Red Sox came to play.  Happ out after 2.

JD's out would of been a hr at Yankee stadium. Hope he remembers how he hit that. LOL.

Would have been far out! 

This is quite satisfying and after that quick inning Sale will go at least one if not two more innings.  It’s between then and the end of the game that I’d worry about, but the way Sale and the offense have stepped up, the pen has to be ready to get it done too.

I realize Sale was at 93 PC, but still...this bullpen isn't trustworthy. They'd better not blow this.
