Red Sox Win Well-Balanced Game (38-28)

Last night the Red Sox beat the Diamondbacks 6-3, it wasn't the most memorable game but, hey, it went in the win column. Clay Buchholz (right) went 5.2 innings, allowing 3 runs, but the good part was that he struck out 8! Buchholz has been very good this year and is now 9-4/2.67/58 as he has been the unsuspected ace of the staff this year. David Ortiz had a 2-run homer and he is now .257/13/41 as he now leads the Sox in home runs. Dustin Pedroia, Victor Martinez, and Kevin Youkilis each had 1 RBI and rookie Daniel Nava scored a run. Today, Jon Lester (7-2/3.18/89) and Rodrigo Lopez (2-5/4.45/49) pitch. I hope my birthday present is a Red Sox win! (yes, today is my birthday)
