Kimbrel redeems himself

Rick Porcello is now 4-0 with his 12th straight start of 6.1 or more innings, leading the AL. He was dealing today. It was a pitcher's duel all night and Pretty Ricky came out on top. He went 6.1 innings with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. The Vasquez effect keeps working as his era drops to below 4! He only needs 1 run to dominate and he did it again tonight. He also swung the bat pretty well too. He has more hits this year than the injured fat fuck Pablo. A pitcher has more hits than a position player. Just let that sink in. That's how bad Pablo is. I can also tell he's been taking up base running lessons from the master himself, Hustle Hanley. Porcello flew down the line. He's gonna be the first player ever to win the AL CY Young and NL Silver Slugger for pitcher. What a game, What a pitcher, What a great catcher behind the plate! 

JBJ provided the only run the Red Sox needed to pull off the win. He hit a solo shot to right field in the 7th. He's a streaky hitter, just like the team, but when he is on, he's raking. He became our savior again and continues his hot streak. His swing is so beautiful when he's right. I love it! 

The bullpen was another strong point tonight. The Lawn Mower, Robbie Ross Jr, came into the 7th with 2 on and 1 out and did not allow a run! He mowed them all down and threw Aybar the nastiest breaking ball to strike him out and end the inning. Maybe it's the Vasquez effect again, but Robbie Ross Jr looks really good this season. Who knew he could pitch this well. Koji came into the 8th and did his normal thing. He struck out one and kept it scoreless. The difference between Koji's fastball and the nasty split makes him so hard to hit off of. It's so fun to watch. High fives for everyone! And finally, Kimbrel gets the save he's been looking for. After the blown save last night, he needed a night like tonight to start fresh. He was dominate again and struck out two. Game Over. THE RED SOX WIN AND ARE NOW OVER 500 AT 10-9!

Final: Red Sox 1 - Braves 0
