Sox Win in 10th to Salvage Split

Sleepless in Seattle is not the right phrase. How about offense-less against some young arms? The Sox could have very easily swept all 4 games with an extra run or two in their losses. And they could have also lost all 4 had it not been for sporadic HR's, most of which came in the 2nd game. Yesterday it came down to a much-needed sac fly by David Ortiz in the 10th after a Ryan Kalish pinch hit double & a Dustin Pedroia single. Pedroia also homered in the 8th to tie the game 1-1. Bullpen was solid for 5 relief innings. Sox leave with a split in Seattle & a split against a bad team like the Mariners has to be very unsatisfying.
