Sox Offense Impressive In Win

The Sox offense, which had been somewhat of a concern over the past month or so, racked up 12 hits and 10 runs to get Josh Beckett his 19th win of the season. Beckett’s win and the offensive production, however, was not the most important part of the game. Likely the most positive note to come out of this game came with a negative. Of course, I am referring to the x-ray of Kevin Youkilis. Although the contusion on his wrist may keep him out of the lineup for some amount of time, a break would have ended his season. To be missing Kevin Youkilis during these next two weeks and in possible playoff scenarios would have been devastating to the Red Sox. Not only is he a prolific piece of the offensive production, his errorless defense thus far is arguably the best in the league in his position. Once again, Jacoby Ellsbury was able to come into the game and contribute to the Red Sox win. Tomorrow’s rubber match should play out to be a very interesting one, and perhaps a noted game in the long history between the two rivals.Ortiz_hit
