Tonight in Boston, the Red Sox won their tenth straight after their woeful 2-6 start, completing the sweep of the Yankees, and of the entire homestand with a crisp 4-1 win. Bat Masterson started, handing the ball to the kiddie corps of Hunter Jones and Michael Bowden before Sensei Saito finished the job. Jacoby Ellsbury scored one of the runs with the ultra rare straight steal of home, the first one of those by a Bostonian in ten years.
Boston, 12-6 and one game out of first place, travels to the Mistake by the Lake tomorrow to take on Cleveland's American League Baseball Team With The Offensive Mascot.
The theft of home was sublime. Very exciting game.
