M's 7 | Red Sox 6Not as dominating as his previous two appearances in Boston...
but gotta love the way Felix battled through the next six innings, after giving up two runs in the first. After that, he had runners on base in every inning but two but was able to get out of it every time with the exception the home run to Drew in the seventh.
And how 'bout that bottom of the order?!?!?
5-9 batters had 8 of the 13 hits (including 5 doubles and a home run), 5 of the 7 runs scored and 5 of the 7RBI (including Rob's 2-run double that proved to be the winning hit)
M's now 4-3 on the road trip...
I remember thinking if they could go 4-5 that would be good enough. So, anything now is just gravy :-)
And OK, I'll admit it, there's always a little more hop in my step when the M's beat either the Red Sox or the Yanks (not to get too far ahead of myself, but now if they could only beat the Rangers - currently 0-5 against them)

Oh and thanks to the Red Sox fan that prevented Youks from catching Ryan's foul ball in the stands by catching it himself - in his hat. Next pitch went for a double, next batter lined out (would have been the 3rd out sans the fan) then Robby hit an RBI double to tie the game and Ronnie homered for the go ahead runs.
:-)
