Sox Win Finale 2-0

Well, finally a series win in May.  Wade Miley stranded base runners all day &, with help from Tazawa & Uehara, combined for a shutout.  We haven't used the words "Red Sox pitchers & shutout" in a the same sentence in ages.  And the Sox needed a shutout against the A's ace Sonny Gray who pitched a heck of a game against them.  This 2-0 win shows that the Sox have signs of life if we can just get a few quality starts from the starting pitchers.  Daniel Nava had a nice day at the plate going 2-3 with a walk.  He drove in the winning run with a perfectly placed pop fly down the LF line.  Oakland looks like they are going nowhere, so perhaps there is a chance to trade for Scott Kazmir or Sonny Gray in the near future.  Either one would be a big help to the Red Sox struggling rotation.
