Last night, Josh Becket turned in another gem—6 2/3, one earned run—to propel the Sox to their first win over the suddenly simmering Tribe, 4-2. Jason Varitek's first HR of 2011 was the difference, with Adrian Gonzalez chipping in his MLB-leading 42nd RBI. Jed Lowrie, workmanlike as always, delivered a booming sac fly that would have gone out with a more favorable wind.
You just get the feeling that once Pedroia and Crawford start to click, this will be an unstoppable offense.
