HR by the Angels. 1-0 after 3 1/2 innings. Sox coming to bat in the 4th.
Sox need to look alive, but at least this one may get done in less than 4 hours.
Angels giving away a run. Good AB by Holt.
Still have bases loaded. Raffy needs to take advantage here.
Dammit. Raffy screws it up with a GIDP.
JBJ's hot streak continues. 2-run dinger to make it 4-1.

AND he made a great defensive play too.
WHAT is it with Joe Kelly and the Angels?
Starts off the top of the 8th inning with a walk and single.
Men on first and third - no outs.
AND the Sox just scored in the bottom of the 7th inning.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Kelly is useless again. Get him out of there before he gives it all away.
Awesome catch by Benintendi. Saved some runs for sure.
Kelly gets out of it. Lucky he has some talent behind him.
Going to the bottom of the 8th inning.
Sox 4 - Angels 2
Kelly might need a rest. Has looked bad last few times out.
Kimbrel does his thing. Sox sweep. Needed that.
YAHOOOOO.
Sox win 4 - 2.
Sox SWEEP the Angels again!
Going into the Bronx winning 6 of their last 7 games.
Hector Velazquez with the win & Kimbrel with the save. Good defense and a couple hr's give the Sox the sweep.

Velazquez did good. So did Johnson. Kelly needs a break.

Needed that is right but we have to get Kelly straightened out because he has looked awful the last few times out and strikes me as the guy with a deer in the headlights. He has to sharpen up and I think Benny has gone into a slump and we need him to get warm again. Why can't all our guys hit in sync? BUT, we took care of business again tonight when we had to and will not go into YS with our tails between our legs suffering from a letdown. We did what we needed to do and will at least be taking on the Yankees in first place. What we need to do is make sure we do not leave YS with our tails between our legs. We need to make a statement this weekend.

Fred,
You need to give credit to JBJ - good defense AND the 2 run home run sealed this win.

B I N G O dat !!! Who is that center fielder with a great glove & HOT BAT ???? Nice win, the B P has done the job but all could use a night off …… ON TO NEW YORK !! thumb_u rofl rofl rofl rofl
Great outfield plays by all three guys last night too. Fun game to watch. It was funny how they mentioned that when Kelly was pitching, apparently Cora was yelling to Vazquez to make him throw more fast balls. I noticed Kimbrel was screwing around less too. Keep these guys doing what they do best with just enough off speed stuff to make guys wonder.
Still can't believe the Yankees get a day off before a home game to rest up for the Sox series. They don't need more days off! The big thing this weekend will be to win at least 2 and take care of that loss column differential.
CRAZY - the Red Sox have played 4 more games
than the Yankees.
Actually most teams have played more games
than the Yankees.

I know that many were rainouts - but, still . . .
You would think with all the off days the Yankees have had,
that they would have been able to make up a few more games.
It is what it is.
Let's GO Sox!
