Long PA
With one out in the sixth, Pedroia sees about 12 pitches, drawing a walk. That's his third time on tonight. Ortiz is the only other batter to reach base against Garza.
Update: Ortiz works the count to 3-2, then strikes out swinging into a double play as Navarro catches Pedroia stealing. The Rays survive the sixth and still hold a 2-1 lead.
Update: Garza is at 100 pitches. Does he come out for the seventh?
Update: Lester retires the Rays in order in the bottom of the sixth.
The first third of the game belonged to the Red Sox. The second third belonged to the Rays. Who wins the final third likely wins the American League. Lester is at 88 pitches, so he should be good for at least another inning.
