THE YANKEE KILLER STRIKES AGAIN

It was a 2-2 game bottom of the 8th Bogey on first with one out and one of the Yankees' best relieves up in Betances. That was when the hopes and dreams of all Yankee fans were crushed. Big Papi took a bad slider all the way for a 2 RUN DING DONG OVER THE MONSTER!! The Yankees' bullpen all of a sudden looked beatable. The Yankees suck chant was all around Fenway. Kimbrel gets his 7th save and the Red Sox win! 

That was the dramatic ending to a great game but let's start from the beginning. Henry Owens shaved his long locks from the advice of Pedroia to get out of his slump. It worked. He was wild and let 10 people on, but did not let the game get out of hand. His start looked way worse than it actually was. He induced 4 double plays! He came up big when he was in a jam and ended strong. He went 6 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 earned runs, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. He did what he needed to do to keep the game close for the Red Sox to strike back and the goal was achieved! 

Tanka looked dominate for 6 innings, but it all came apart in the 7th. The Red Sox couldn't get anything going, but all of a sudden it just clicked. He gave up a huge game tying double to JBJ after back to back singles from Shaw and Holt! Tanka went 6.2 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 earned runs, and 5 strikeouts. Koji came in the 8th to lock it down and got the win! You know what happens next. 

This win could be a kick starter for the Red Sox. The Yankees are struggling and now we have our two best pitchers in Porcello and Price to finish off this series. Big Papi is on pace for another 30 and 100 season and he's 40 years old. WOW. He again does not look like he's retiring and let's soak this all in. One of the greatest of all time! The grit and grind of this team is amazing. We never give up. We're the comeback kids with the 2013 vibe oozing all around us!

Final: Red Sox 4 - Yankees 2!
