It couldn't have come at a better time. Kevin Youkilis made the most of his opportunities today, crushing 2 homers off A.J. Burnett & finishing the day with 3 hits & 6 RBI.
Youk had been quiet lately, but not today. Today, he hit like a cleanup hitter. Victor Martinez & Jason Bay on either side of Youk definitely help him to see more pitches to hit.
This extended line-up looks better & better each time it is roled out, even with Lowell sitting today. With Sabathia going tomorrow, maybe Francona will sit Ortiz & use Lowell as the DH since the word is Varitek will be catching again tomorrow. Victor & Youk need to stay in the 3-4 spots.
Let's just put a winning lineup out there & take the series.
