While New England slept, two wonderful things occurred: LeBron James choked again and the Red Sox stormed back against the Empire to complete another sweep in the Bronx, 8-3.Josh Beckett once again out-dueled the Large Loser, who coughed up 6 earned runs in the seventh (6 of 7 the Sox would score in that frame).
David Ortiz, after being "hit" for the first time by an Empire hurler, got two clutch hits in the 7th—including a two-run double.
