What a weekend in Boston as the Red Sox sweep the 'Junkees'. Friday night's game took 11 innings before the Sox put away the Yanks. Jason Bay's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth gave Boston a stay of execution and "Yoooooouuuuuuuk!" sent the fans home happy with a walk off solo shot in the bottom of the 11th. Saturday's game didn't look so good early on. In a game where pitching was expected to rule, neither starter had anything. With almost identical boxscores, both pitcher lasted only 5 innings giving up 8 earned and 2 homeruns. After falling behind 6-0 in the fourth, Tek cranked a grand slam to bring the game back to within reach. Mike Lowell took over from there with a 3-run homer and a 3 RBI double to lead the Sox to a 16-11 victory. Sunday gave the Sox the chance for the sweep. In one of the greatest plays of the year so far, Jacoby Ellsbury steals home in the fifth and puts an exclamation mark on the series. The Sox extend their winning streak to 10 and head to Cleveland for a 3 game series against the struggling Tribe. I Love Baseball!!!
