Sox Take 3 Out of 4 in KC

A 6-1 win today in Kansas City was fueled by some unusual suspects.

Carl Crawford & Darnell McDonald hit homers. Yes, Carl Crawford! Crawford ended up with 2 hits & McDonald had 3 on the day.

Jon Lester pitched well through 6 innings, but ran out of gas in 7th. Daniel Bard to the rescue for the 7th & 8th. Dan Wheeler closed out the 9th.

All this without Jacoby Ellsbury who got plugged in the back, David Ortix who is nursing a heel injury & Kevin Youkilis who is on the DL. It was nice to see Marco Scutaro back in action.

If we can achieve the same results over the next 4 days in Texas without 1/3 of the starters, I'll be really impressed.
