How Did the Red Sox Win This Game?

The Red Sox are not only hot right now, they’re nothing short of resilient. After seemingly coming back from big deficits against the Yankees all last weekend, the Sox had another comeback in store for fans last night in beating the Indians 6-5. The Sox were down 5-0 going into the 6th inning, but managed 2 in that frame and 3 in the 8th to tie the game. Then Jonathan Van Every, making his first start of the season, homered with 2 outs in the 10th inning to finish off the comeback. Jonathan Papelbon came in for the save.

The Red Sox were without several star players in the game last night. Kevin Youkilis has a sore back and Julio Lugo was out with a stiff knee.

In other Red Sox news, Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched a bullpen session yesterday with no pain (that he’s telling anybody about, at least). He’ll throw again on Saturday and is scheduled to come off the DL next week.
