Four pitches into the game and they're down 1-0 already.

Porcello settles down and gets a DP to end the inning. Minimal damage.

[Rob from Mass]

DP a pitchers best friend

Moreland hits a 2-run dinger. What a great idea putting him in the lineup tonight. Who would have thought?  ;) thumb_u

Maybe he will get more playing time now.

Porcello having a rough inning here. Sox down 3-2.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Yankees 4 - Sox 2
DANG IT!

Pomeranz pitched better last night -
the Yankee bats are killing us.

[BoSoxFanNY]

UGHHHHHHH

Another ground into a double play.

DAMN!

(I thought we had the best chance to win today with Porcello
on the mound.)

[longgame]

Moreland has also saved at least a hit and and an error as well.  I'm sure he'll be sitting tomorrow.

Offense needs to get going, at least Beni and Moreland are awake.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Yankees 5 - Sox 4

Bottom of the 6th inning,
after Porcello gives up a hit,
Cora puts in Brian Johnson.
Brian Johnson????  With his 6.00 era??

WHAT is he thinking??

[BoSoxFanNY]

My apologies to Brian Johnson - got out of the inning unscathed.

Let's GO BoSox!

[markj]

Attaboy, Hanley. Sox up 6-5.

[markj]

Damn nice play by Xander.
