The Red Sox just defeated the Colorado Rockies by the score of 2-1.   Tim Wakefield pitched a gem allowing only 1 run and 4 hits in 8 innings pitched. Although he didn't recieve the run support he would have liked it was enough.  It started in the 3rd inning with a leadoff double by Julio Lugo who bat in the 9th slot?  Yes the ninth slot because of his recent struggles a the plate.  Kevin Youkilis eventually drove him in with a double of his own.  The rest of the scoring came in the eighth inning.  Colorado led off the inning with a double until he was driven in by Torrealba, to tie the game.  In the bottom of the inning, Dustin Pedroia led off with a single.  Who was than pinch ran for by Alex Cora.  Ortiz than hit a double to left that hit off the short wall.  Manny was walked intentionally.  Than J.D. Drew hit a sac fly to take the lead.  John Papelbon closed the game out for a Red Sox win.

Go Sox!!!
