Victor Martinez led Boston's brigands with 5 hits to pace a 23 hit assault on Baltimore pitching. 7 runs over the first three innings, with our good friend Cowboy Clay on the hill, means an easy time of it, yes?
Not as such, no.
Clay Buchholz gave 6 of the aforementioned 7 runs right back in a horrendous third inning, bringing the game back to a tight 7-6 score. Fortunately, a 7 run fourth inning put the score back into Silly Land, where Boston proceeded to romp to an 18-10 win.
Besides V Mart's 5 hits, we had new heartthrob Josh Reddick's first major league homer, a homer from Rhode Island's own Rocco Baldelli, 3 hits from Our Men Youk and DP, and two hits from Old Heartthrob Jacoby Ellsbury and Farmer Jed Lowrie.
Yay!
