BURKETT GIVES UP TWO PAIR OF TWO BAGGERS, SETTLES DOWN
Red 7
White 4
BOX SCORE
STORY
Good recovery win by the Red Sox tonight. John "The Throwback" Burkett was shaky to begin with but then retired 18 straight. The big hit of the night was Ramirez's 3 run HR in the 3rd. Trot and Varitek also had HRs, their's were back to back in the 2nd. Nomar extended his hit streak to 10 games. It is his 21st 10 or more games hit streak.
The Man of the Game is Burkett. True, Ramirez did hit a huge HR, but how many times does Burkett go 6 2/3 (for some reason, Grady took him out with 2 outs in the 7th instead of letting him finish the inning)? Here are the MOTG standings after 11 MOTGs awarded:
1. Nomar, Millar, Burkett - 2
4. F. Sanchez, Nixon, JD Drew, Ryan Rupe, Joe Crede - 1
Shea Hillenbrand on the 15-Day DL.
The Y*nks split a doubleheader with Tampa Bay so we're only 0.5 behind now. The Blue Jays did not play as their game was rained out.
