First Hit a Big One

Jason Varitek gets the run back in the top of the sixth with a home run. It's his first hit of the ALCS and the Red Sox are up 3-2. Shields is up over 100 pitches. I wonder if he'll pitch the seventh.

Crisp singles off Shields first, his third hit of the game. He's as hot as Ellsbury was cold. Maddon takes James out of the game.

Update: Howell comes in and induces Pedroia to hit a ground ball to Bartlett. Jason throws it away, and the Red Sox have runners on first and third with two out for Ortiz in the top of the sixth.

Update: Ortiz delivers a single to right-center and the Red Sox lead 4-2. Boston has runners on 1st and 2nd with two out with Youkilis coming up.

Update: Youkilis strikes out swinging to end the inning. The Rays only have four hits this evening, and they only scored because two of them were home runs. They need more batters on base to do more damage with their power.
