After Alex Rodriguez leads off the 8th with a single, Okajima relieves Matsuzaka. Dice-K struck out seven and walked one (he hit two), but the Yankees were 8 for 21 when they put the ball in play, a .381 average on balls in play.

Update: Hideki gets one out, but gives up a single to Cano and a walk to Posada to load the bases. That's it for Okajima. Donnelly comes in to a tough situation.

Update: Josh Phelps pinch hits for Nieves, which means he'll come in to catch. He last caught in the majors in 2001.

Update: Phelps hits a line drive up the middle that Pedroia catches on a dive. A great play to preserve a one-run lead for Boston. A-Rod scores in the inning. The Red Sox come up in the bottom of the eighth leading 7-6.

Cabrera does everything he can to break up the double play, running at Lugo and even sliding with his arms outstretched trying to slap Lugo's legs out from under him. If there was instant replay in baseball, I hope they'd call that interference.

that was Cairo pinch running.

That was clean, Mike. All you have to do is be within arms reach of the bag. I'm a Red Sox fan, and I was pissed that the run scored but there wasn't a whole lot anyone could do about it.
