The blog has been a little slow lately, I'll be the first to admit it. Truth be told, the amount of posting will probably never get back to the level it was once at. But I'll write some stuff explaining the way things will work later. Now it's time to talk about how Scuts saved the day for the Sox.
Josh Beckett was solid for the second consecutive outing since returning from the DL, firing 7 innings and surrendering 3 runs on just 5 hits. He fanned 5 hitters. Still, though, Boston found themselves in a 3-3 tie heading for the 8th inning. That's when their shortstop came to the rescue. With the bases loaded, Scutaro jacked a grand slam out of the yard and sent the Angels packing, being swept at home for the first time in their last 72 home series. Scutaro would reach base in 5 of his 6 at bats in the game, punching out officially with a 3-4 day with 4 RBIs.
Don't look now, but the Red Sox are creeping back into the picture in the division. The Yankees have some struggling personnel right now, and the Sox find themselves just 6.5 games back in the AL East. String a few more together and you'll have something to watch out for in this division. 6 of Boston's final 10 games this season are against the Yankees. It would be phenomenal to see a tight, heated race at the end of the year for a playoff spot and/or the division title.
