Ahh, 11:05AM game on Patriot’s day. With our lineup today, I really thought it would be difficult to score runs. Looking at the bottom four in the lineup, they were all minor leaguers: Lowrie, Lugo, Cash and Thurston. Wait, Lugo doesn’t live in Pawtucket?

As it turns out, if it were up to Julio Lugo he would ride to Lexington screaming “the redcoats are coming!” every day. (Maybe he’d be referring to the red Sunday jerseys, because the Rangers certainly weren’t wearing any red.) How often does “en fuego”, as Kim calls him, actually get more than a single hit? Believe it or not, he got four!

Clay looked better, but clearly still has a ways to go before being a reliable starter. He did pitch six shutout innings, but worked in and out of quite a few jams.

The Sox have now won five straight and eight of nine. Quick trivia question: When was the last time the Sox won five straight in the regular season?
