O's Take Finale 7-6

Memo to Red Sox - don't fall behind early in games by 5 & 6 runs. While the Sox were able to pull out a win yesterday, they gave a great effort again today but fell short in a 7-6 loss after being behind 6-0. I like the fight in this team which is still hovering just below the .500 mark in April. The additions of Victorino on Wednesday & Middlebrooks by Friday or Saturday will certainly help the offense. If the Sox weather this early storm & they can stay in the mix by playing around .500, I like their chances the rest of the way. They need to win this home series with the Yankees starting tomorrow.
