Koji Closes Out Red Sox Win

It was nice to see the smiling, happy-go-lucky Koji Uehara back closing games for the Red Sox.  Koji got his 1st save of the year yesterday in an 8-7 Red Sox win over an error-plagued Washington Nationals team.  Ian Desmond seems to be in the middle of every big error early in the year for the Nats.  Yesterday, with the scored tied 7-7 & the infield in, Desmond gets a grounder & goes to 1st instead of home, allowing the go-ahead run to score.  It's not often a team can beat Jordan Zimmermann & Stephen Strasburg in back-to-back games.  It's another series win for the Red Sox who have won all 3 series thus far in 2015.  Wade Miley goes for the sweep against Gio Gonzalez this afternoon.  Unfortunately, the injury bug is creeping up on the Red Sox as Bogaerts & Sandoval are dinged up for the big team & Rusney hurt his shoulder at AAA on a diving catch.  Hopefully, none are long-term.
