A Rockies Sweep

It was a short two-game series against the Rockies in Fenway Park this week.  Of course these two teams met in the 2007 World Series where the Red Sox flattened them in a four game sweep.  Three members of the Rockies who played in this two-game set were members of the 2007 team.  Troy Tulowitzki would have made four.  The Red Sox also had three players from the 2007 team in uniform this week.

06/25:  Red Sox 11 (46-33) Rockies 4
The Red Sox rolled in this one with four players collecting three hits apiece.  Ryan Dempster pitched well for six innings and collected the win.  Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Daniel Nava, and Jose Iglesias provided the offense.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
DUSTIN PEDROIA:  3 for 5, 2 runs, 4 RBIs, double, stolen base.

06/26:  Red Sox 5 (47-33) Rockies 3
John Lackey was the story of the game as he pitched very well.  Shane Victorino had a three hit game and Daniel Nava drove in two for the win.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
JOHN LACKEY:  7 innings, 8 hits, 2 runs, 12 strikeouts
