Whacking Days

Boston took two out of three from the Arizona Diamondbacks in Fenway Park this weekend.  The title is a reference to The Simpsons.

08/02:  Diamondbacks 7 Red Sox 6 (66-45)
Jon Lester was terrible again.  Boston came close in the bottom of the ninth but could not get the walkoff for a third game in a row.  Former Sox Cody Ross terrorized Boston pitching.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
STEPHEN DREW:  2 for 2, run, 3 RBIs, Home Run.

08/03:  Red Sox 5 (67-45) Diamondbacks 2
Jake Peavy made his anticipated first start with the Red Sox and was terrific.  Shane Victorino and Jarrod Saltalamacchia provided some offense.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
NO CARD YET
JAKE PEAVY:  7 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned runs, 2 walks, 7 strikeouts, Win.

08/04:  Red Sox 4 (68-45) Diamondbacks 0
Stephen Drew continued to hit well against his former team, but this one was all Felix.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
FELIX DOUBRONT:  7 innings, 5 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts, Win.
