[Schloicka]

Sox on the board on a sac fly by Pearce. 1-0 Sox.

[markj]

KC giving away runs again. We'll take them.

[Schloicka]

Sox starting to pull away from KC. 6-3 in 7th with 2 on and no outs.

[markj]

Yanks pull out a win in the 10th. Sox need to keep pace.

[markj]

Sox tack on another run. Now 7-3.

[Schloicka]

Decent effort by Porcello. 111 pitches. Struggled some but got through 7 innings with the Sox leading 7-3. Up to the pen now to finish it up.

[markj]

Decent enough game by Porcello.

[markj]

Whoa, great minds think alike, eh Geo?

[markj]

Barnes done good.

[Schloicka]

Barnes done good.

He even threw a couple splitters for strikes. If he can control that it would make him a much better pitcher.

[Schloicka]

5 double plays today. Surprised we got 7 runs doing that.

[markj]

Can't seem to bring this game to an end.

[markj]

Finally. Another sweep. They're playing well lately.
