After dropping the first two games against KC, the Red Sox came back to take the final two of the series. Next, they will head to Yankee Stadium for the rivals' final match-up of the season.
Clay Buchholz, who has nine quality starts in his last ten outings was superb this evening. After 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Clay dropped his ERA to 3.21. Even more impressive was his 8/0 K/BB ratio. His wildness is beginning to subside and he is becoming more consistent in the strike-zone. Ramon Ramirez (3 ER in 2/3 of an inning) and Takashi Saito finished off the game and allowed the Sox to save the big guns for this weekend in the Bronx.

The offense went for 10 runs with the help of four KC errors. Ortiz and Ellsbury had 3 hits a piece, while Pedroia, V-Mart, Kotchman, and A-Gon each chipped in two a piece. Ortiz added a HR (26), and three RBIs (91), while Ellsbury swiped two bases (thats 66 on the year folks).

-Youkilis and Drew got the night off. The Sox will continue to rest the regulars as they head into the grind that is postseason play.
-Wakefield will go Wednesday instead of Tuesday because the team is trying to align the rotation.
****Look for a postseason roster preview by early next week. Will the Sox keep three catchers? Who will be the fourth starter? Who will be the odd-man out in the pen? Questions to be answered soon!
