Kazmir Gone, Red Sox Hit

Grant Balfour relieves Scott Kazmir to start the bottom of the seventh. Jed Lowrie doubles off the wall in the rightfield corner to greet Grant. It's only the third hit of the game for Boston.

Update: Varitek flies out to center. He has not picked up a hit in the series.

Update: Kotsay flies out to center, also.

Update: Crisp singles to left, but Lowrie only gets to third. Pedroia is up to try to get a run on the board.

Update: Dustin singles on a 3-2 pitch, a high line drive to right. If the game was on the line, Gross would have tried to dive for it, but he made sure it was just a single. The Rays lead is down to 7-1.

Update: Big Papi gets the crowd cheering for him again as he hits one around the Pesky pole for a three-run homer. That makes the score 7-4 Rays, and Balfour is out of the game. Anything can happen at Fenway, and usually does.

Update: Maddon brings in Wheeler to face Youkilis. The 1-1 pitch almost hits Kevin in the head.

Update: Youkilis flies out to end the inning. Too bad Papelbon couldn't stop the two runs in the top of the inning from scoring, otherwise this would be a one run game. Any Red Sox fans who left early wish they could get back in to Fenway right now.

Just wondering - where was the lefty to face Papi?
