Sox Lose 1st Series of Year

Sox lose their finale in Tampa 2-1.  Close games have no margin for error.  A diving catch by Kiermeyer & a ground ball past 3rd base were the difference in the game.  Buchholz pitched well.  This series, however, changed on Wednesday night when they Sox blew their 5-1 lead in the 6th.  Now the AL East has 3 teams tied for 1st at 9-7.  With each series & each week of play the AL East positions will shift back & forth as the pack stays together.  Last week the Yankees were in last, now it's Baltimore in last at 7-9.  Sox start a tough weekend series in Baltimore.  2 out of 3 would be nice before they return to Fenway to play the Blue Jays.  Every game counts.
