In about as unimpressive fashion as possible,
the Red Sox hung on to beat the Cleveland Indians 7-5 at Fenway on Friday night. Staked to a 7-1 lead, Clay Buchholz was fairly effective and just good enough to survive with his fourth win—going 6 1/3 innings and giving up three earned runs. However, he walked three, hit a batter and failed to strike anyone out.
Dustin Pedroia led the offense with three hits and three RBIs. The game was marred by inept base running, silly errors and lots of bad pitching. Alfredo Aceves delivered a cardiac save to end it. Hey, it was ugly, but it's a win.
