Pap Vs. Vlad

The Red Sox once more score in the eighth inning to take a 7-6 lead into the ninth. Papelbon comes on, and the second batter he faces is the tough Vlad Guerrero. I was quite impressed with the second strike of the sequence. Guerrero has a huge reach, and Jon put the pitch close enough to the plate that Vlad would swing, but just outside enough that Vlad would miss. He ended up be called out by the first base umpire on a checked swing. With two tonight, Jon now has 18 K in 11 innings pitched.

Bee-utiful drag bunt by Ellsbury - then Shields throws over 20 times before Pedroia doubles down the line and there's no play on the relay. Ellsbury is having quite a night.
