Game 13/162, Red Sox Win Third Game of Season and Hope to Get Something Started

Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 1

Red Sox   - 220 000 00x - 4 9 1

Blue Jays - 010 000 000 - 1 4 0 

The Red Sox played very well Saturday after barely losing on Friday. They definitely needed this win and got it. At the beginning of the game, Adrian Gonzalez had an RBI single with Youkilis later having an RBI single. Then with Ellsbury on, driving the Blue Jays crazy with his speed, Jed Lowrie hit a homer over the Monster after the pitcher was paying too much attention to Ellsbury on first. Lowrie is now hitting .500 after a good game today going 3 for 5. Lowrie is now on a roll and it is a day before his 27th birthday. Beckett pitched extremely well today, as he has pitched in his last two starts. Over his last two starts, he has given up 1 run in 15 innings with 19 K's. Overall, the Red Sox were happy to get the win and are hoping that they can make this into the turning point of the season and start playing to their capability. But it was very cold during the game as even Hall of Famer Jim Rice was wearing a Red Sox Snuggy during the cold and windy game in Boston.

This is what Beckett said about today's start:

          "I felt good today," said Beckett. "I definitely felt better today and I think I preformed a good notch better than what I did last year."

Notable Players:

Jed Lowrie, 3 for 5 with a homer and two RBIs
