Nothing But Singles

Singles by Kotsay and Varitek put runners on first and third with one out. All the hits so far in the game are of the one base variety, the main reason all these runners are being left on base.

Update: Ellsbury grounds to Kendrick. There was a chance for a double play, but Kendrick bobbles the ball and just gets Ellsbury at first. Kotsay crosses the plate and the Red Sox lead 1-0. I'm guessing Howie Kendrick is going to get a lot of extra fielding drills next spring.

Pedroia finally gets a hit, a double off the Green Monster that scores Varitek from second. It's 2-0 Red Sox.

Update: Ortiz hits a shot back to Lackey to end the inning. The pressure now shifts to the Angels hitters.
