Wak earns his second victory from the clubhouse :-)
Felix was OUTSTANDING and SO deserved the WIN.
Heck, the way he pitched ... allowing only TWO singles, ZERO walks, ZERO runs, EIGHT strikeouts in EIGHT innings and retiring the last SEVENTEEN batters he faced .... he deserved TWO wins.
Floyd was pretty good too - keeping the M's scoreless in his seven innings and the Sox bullpen would succeed well through ten, but then came Jenks in the bottom of the ELEVENTH...
| - J. Wilson reached on bunt single |
| - I. Suzuki sacrificed to first, J. Wilson to second |
| - C. Figgins singled to shallow center, J. Wilson to third |
| - C. Figgins stole second |
| - F. Gutierrez singled to shallow center, J. Wilson and C. Figgins scored |
Now THAT is what we expected from this team from the get-go.
Yes, there were once again some serious base-running issues - I trust they will be addressed once and for all. Right now, I just want to savor the win - they are just too few and far between not to.
Great, now the Sox will want to take their frustration out on someone.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't the M's win the first two games?!
Another great game by Felix and Floyd is just as hot!
