The Three Musketeers
Crisp and Lugo and Drew, oh my...
The much-maligned threesome came through in a big way last night against the White Sox to help stop a three-game losing skid. Collectively, the trio went 6 for 13 with 4 runs and 8 RBI, including a huge triple by Crisp and (gulp) a grand salami from Lugo that blew it wide open. And it should have been even more because Drew got robbed of a 3-run homer in the first inning on a bad call by the umps. Behind this newfound offense, and continued solid pitching from Josh Beckett, the Red Sox cruised, winning 10-3. With the Yanks losing to Tampa, 14-4, the lead before Saturday's games is 8.
We get a late afternoon FOX game today with Kason Gabbard going against John Danks. Let's see what Gabby does following his complete-game gem last time out.
