Pitching Finally Sends Red Sox Streaking

Two in a row! Alert the media! The Red Sox have taken back-to-back games for the first time in a while, beating the Indians, 4-1 on Saturday. From start to finish it was pitching that set the tone—6 innings and just one run from Felix Doubront, and a clean slate from 'pensters Miller, Padilla and Aceves (save #7). The offense was provided primarily by Dustin Pedroia (2-4, double, RBI) and Cody Ross (1-3, HR #6). Daniel Nava has also continued his good play in The Show, going 2-3 with a run scored. Sunday, the Sox try for a three-peat behind Daniel Bard (opposed by old friend Justin Masterson).
