Four Run Lead
J.D. Drew follows a Lowell double with a hard single to center. Lowell scores the sixth run of the game for Boston extending the lead to four.
Drew and Matsuzaka each did a good job of saving their reputations the last two games.
So if the Red Sox hold on, do you give the MVP to Youkilis or Beckett?
Update: The Indians are falling apart here as Blake and Peralta go for a pop up down the leftfield line. The collide, and the ball lands fair. It bounces into the seats for a double, and Ellsbury is intentionally walked. The bases are loaded for Lugo.
Update: Lugo strikes out. Home Run Pedroia is up next.
Update: Pedroia finds the gap in left center and clears the bases with a double. Betancourt picks a bad night to fall apart on the mound, and the probability of the Red Sox winning this game just skyrocketted.
Update: Lewis comes in, and Youkilis hits one off the coke bottles above the monster seats. That's the third hit of the night for Kevin, and he's hitting .500 for the series with a .929 slugging percentage. It's 11-2 Boston.
Update: Ortiz strikes out. Papelbon needs to get three outs before he allows nine runs.

These Sox reminds me of the Yankees in the late 90's. You knew they would win and then pour it on.
By the way the Yankees as a collective unit never got over the '04 series. Someone could write a dissertation on it.
