Astros Finally Win At Fenway 5-3

Craig Breslow is not the same dependable guy that he was out of the pen last year. Last night he pitched the 10th, allowing 3 runners to reach base before recording an out. Two of those runners eventually scored on a bloop hit that bounced into the first base stands. Not Tazawa's fault. Sox lose 5-3 in 10 innings. Clay Buchholz had a solid outing. Yoenis Cespedes hit a laser into the green monster seats. But a weird play at home on a throw from Pedroia to Vazquez to Badenhop allowed the tying run to score, sending the game into extras. A 4-game win streak is stopped, but who wouldn't take 4 wins out of every 5 games? Maybe I have to eat my words yesterday about Buck & maybe he does belong in the rotation next year. I still don't feel he is a pitcher you can expect 30+ starts out of, certainly no Jon Lester or John Lackey.
