Mike Timlin Did What?
The game started off kooky with a Youkilis home run that was only counted as a double. He hit it way back and it bounced off the top of the wall, over the white line. To me, that is a HR. To Camden Yards, it is not. But he did score anyway, on an Ortiz RBI.
The Sox loaded the bases in the 4th inning with no outs, after Mike Lowell had singled in Big Papi for the second run. With Wily Mo at 3rd, Lowell at 2nd, and Varitek at 1st, Trot Nixon GIDP. Oh, Trot. Silly, silly Trot.
Lenny DiNardo had 3 good innings before he imploded, giving up 6 hits and 5 runs in the 4th. Mike Burns took over and had 2.1 good innings.
Loretta tied the game up in the 8th with an RBI single, then he grabbed the lead with another RBI single in the 9th. We have Mark Loretta to thank for this one.
Terry Francona must have been feeling bad for Timlin, because he put him in with a one-run lead in the 9th. Mike sure did make it interesting, but he did end up getting the 3 outs with the lead intact. Congratulations to Mike Timlin for having a good outing!
The Sox bullpen was on last night (I hardly ever get to say that!). After a disappointing 3.2 innings out of the starter DiNardo, Mike Burns, Craig Hansen, Keith Foulke (he got the W), and Mike Timlin put on a good show and allowed all of ZERO runs. Nice work, men. 5.1 scoreless out of the bullpen is encouraging, even if the season is all but over. As my Yankee-loving father points out numerous times EVERY SINGLE DAY.
