Wow what a game! By the way, the Yankees have 3 or 4 mound visits so far too.

JD with a double and Kinsler drives him in. Now 7-4. Still no outs in the inning. Sox are feasting on Holder. They need to keep it up.

markj · August 02, 2018, 07:58:39 PM

Nunez keeps the line moving with a double driving in Kinsler. Now 8-4 Sox.

markj · August 02, 2018, 07:59:22 PM

Yanks finally pull Holder. Gave up 6 runs and got no outs.

markj · August 02, 2018, 08:05:05 PM

Make that 7 runs charged to Holder. JBJ drives in Nunez.

Inning finally over. Sox up 10-4.

Now get the pen up & ready. Take no chances with Johnson. Don't let him dig a hole. I do expect the Yanks to score again but let's keep it limited.

I was a little surprised that he came back out given that Cora has pulled him early in the past. But after that early mess he settled down okay - although that homer made me nervous!

Would be nice to get a few more runs and put some more pressure on the Yankees pen. Still a long way to go in this one.

Johnson got through 5 innings. Nothing pretty but leaves up 10-5. I blame the hr Johnson gave up in the 5th on pitcher & catcher inexperience They threw the same pitch the guy hit a hr on earlier on a 2-2 count. Needed to go down and away I feel. Pretty much 2 inexperienced guys pitching & catching. They'll hopefully learn.
