BOS 5, BAL 4: Offense needs a slugger huh?
Down by four runs headed into the seventh inning the Boston Red Sox rallied past the Baltimore Orioles scoring five runs combined in the 7th, 8th, and 9th for a come from behind victory and sweep of the O's
Dustin Pedroia (does not seem like a slugger yet) collected another three hits out of the cleanup spot in the win.
Justin Masterson earned the win over two innings pitched in relief.
Star of the Game:  Team
Remember folks this is a team game and even though we lack a big slugger behind Big Papi everyone in the lineup has to hit and they did it when it counted today.
Next Game: Rangers
We get to see Josh Hamilton again.  Wahoo!

Watch how quickly Youk gets back into MVP contention when he returns, rested and ready as cleanup, gold glove 1st and 3rd. Could be just what we need to keep it all going. BTW, for Youk and Peds, it is tough to shine so bright among the great stories, and consistent play and hitting of Papi, Bay, Lowrie, Kotsay, Bailey, Tek, Ells, Mike, JD, and now Cora and Coco. Like you said. This is a team, and they carry each other.

Yes, the Sox do need a slugger. Not right now, maybe not even this season, but sooner or later.
Say, has the team made any September callups yet? Or are they trying to save on hotel bills?

the Pawsox are in the playoffs so the Red Sox are letting those guys play it out. Most of the guys who were going to get the call already have because of injury anyways (bailey, ross, van every) when the AAA playoffs are done we may see Carter, maybe Dusty Brown, and Bowden out of the pen.
