Sox Explode in 7th

It finally happened. An offensive explosion for 6 runs in the 7th inning to propel the Sox to a 9-5 win over the LA Angels of Anaheim.

Big Papi had a 2-run jack over the Green Monster. Adrian G. had a big bases-clearing double also off the Monster in deep center. And Dustin Pedroia wore out Jered Weaver with a 13 pitch at-bat that ended in a 2-run single up the middle. Nice work by the offense.

The Sox have beaten the best lately in Felix Hernandez & Jered Weaver. Their streak against tough starters continues tonight as they face another ace in Dan Haran. Jon Lester will oppose Haran in what shapes up to be a good pitcher's duel.

The Sox are 13-15 & once again closing in on that elusive .500 mark.
