Almost Home
The Red Sox defeat the Twins 6-4 on a three-run home run by J.D. Drew in the seventh. The win reduces the Red Sox magic number to one for clinching the best record in the league and home field through the playoffs. Cleveland is currently losing 3-2 in the seventh, so it might happen tonight.
Drew hasn't been popular with the Boston fans, as his .500 slugging percentage didn't show up. But his long ball tonight was his fourth of the month and he's slugging well over .500 in September. I think Red Sox fans will forgive his season if he keeps that hot hitting through the playoffs.
