Jon Lester is doing what Jon Lester does-riding the fastball, snapping off the curve. A hit and a walk in the second, but no damage, as we move on into the bottom half, still scoreless.
It's odd how losing last night really changes the complexion of the series. Theoretically, being up 2-0 means you have to win 1 of 3 to advance. But now, having lost game 3, Boston desperately needs to win game 4. You don't want to travel out there, knowing you're at risk of coughing up a 2-0 lead. This really is a must win contest.
Drew takes Lackey the other way with one out in the second for Boston's first hit. Bay walks, but Lackey gets the DP to end the inning.
In the top of the third, The West Coast Aybar grounds out.
The announcers (The Commander in Chief, Buck Martinez, former Met and Yale graduate Ron Darling, and graduate of the college of Nepotism, Chip Caray) have just revealed that Lowell is out for the series.
Chone (sp) Figgins singles to left. Garrett Anderson taps out to first, Figgins advancing.
Lester walks Teixeira.
Big Bad Vlad fouls off three high hard ones, then taps an agonizing roller to second. Lester can't get it, but Our Man DP is on the scene, flipping over to first quickly for the out that retires the side.
Bottom Three
Farmer Jed flies out just in front of the warning track in dead center, and then Tek, a lost and lonely man, rolls out to second. Ellsbury taps out to the mound. Three in the proverbial books, no score.
