Jason Bay: A Nice Fit

Jerry Remy says that Jason Bay does nothing spectacular, but he is a solid player. Last night Bay hit 2 home runs, stole a base & contributed 4 RBI on a night where the Red Sox needed a spark to their offense in a much needed 6-3 win over the Orioles. Not bad for just a good player.

With Mike Lowell out for an indefinite period & J.D. Drew fighting back spasms the Sox had a less than electric line-up to face the Orioles best pitcher in Guthrie. But they got it done with timely hitting & shutdown pitching by Jon Lester.

Great team win to start this critical road trip.
