Saturday - September 12
One of the definite highlights of the year was the Boston Red Sox sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays while allowing them only two runs in the three game series effectively dashing any of their playoff hopes. This was a rain shortened game with the Sox exploding for 8 runs in the 3rd inning. Beckett pitched to one batter in the 6th when the game was called.
Final Score: Sox 9 Rays 1
Jacoby Watch: 1 for 3, 1 RBI and a SB
Sunday – September 13 Noon
With the game tied 1-1 in the 8th Dustin Pedroia delivered the game winning hit with a two-run homer off Matt Garza. Clay Buchholz was very solid with 7IP, 1R, 5H and 5SO. Oki had a hold and Paps his 36th save.
Final Score: Sox 3 Rays 1
Jacoby Watch: 1 for 3 and is now batting .300
Sunday – September 13 – Evening
An unusual day/night affair this is the make-up game for the rain-out Friday. Jon Lester pitched an absolute gem with 8 shutout innings and only giving up 2 hits while striking out 7. Bay had a solo homer and Tek had 2 RBIs. Billy Wagner contributed a scoreless 9th stranding 2 with 2SO. This was a most satisfying series for the Red Sox defeating the team they lost the ALCS to last year.
Final Score: Sox 4 Rays 0
Jacoby Watch: 0 for 3
