Shields Out

With one on and one out in the eighth, Howell relieves Shields and faces David Ortiz. Shields pitched a fine game, walking two and striking out six in 7 1/3 innings of work.

Update: Ortiz walks after a Pedroia steal. Youkilis comes up with men on first and second, and Youkilis is the only player with multiple hits in the game.

Update: Youkilis hits a line drive to left, and Crawford has the ball tick off his glove. The ball was catchable, but everyone advances two bases. Boston leads 2-0 with men at 2nd and 3rd and one out. The Rays defense let them down on that play.

Update: Drew gets hit by Balfour, Bay strikes out and Kotsa pops out. Against, the Red Sox have a chance to break the game open but come away with one run. They lead 2-0 and need six outs to win game one.

You can pretty much count on one of the Rays taking one to the ribs early tonite. I'd like to think otherwise but that sure looked like Balfour was throwing at him.
