Red Sox Fall Short Again

Red Sox Fall Short Again
Clay Buchholz got out of a first inning jam and pitched well until the fifth where he walked two batters and gave up a triple.  Buchholz came out of the game after walking the leadoff batter and allowing a single to start the sixth.  Aceves came in and gave up an RBI double that tied up the game before getting the final out of the inning.  

Things fell apart for the Red Sox in the seventh when Jenks took the mound, his outing looked like this: walk, single, K, RBI single, RBI single, double steal, wild pitch (run scores), RBI single.

The rest of the bullpen (Doubront, Wheeler and Papelbon) pitched well to keep the Red Sox in the game.

Pedey and Youk provided early fireworks with a homer each.  With the team down by four in the eighth the Sox rallied when Frasor had trouble finding the plate,  Scutaro had a huge two out double that made it a one run game but the Red Sox went in order in the bottom of the ninth.

Carl Crawford was 0-5 on the night and is now batting .137 with no RBIs.  The Sox continue to be the worst team in baseball with a record of 2-10.
