Bradley, Jr. Shines Again As Sox Top Bucs, 16-6

This game was so weird that John Lackey got the win despite coughing up a three-run homer to somebody named Jared Goedert. Moreover, the Sox run total was almost matched by the number of walks they drew (15). But most importantly of all, Jackie Bradley, Jr. continued to make the case for promotion to the big club by smacking out three more hits—and getting robbed on a potential fourth! This kid is ready for prime time. And, Jose Iglesias had a two-run single—adding more credence to the idea that he may have figured out hitting. All in all, a good day.
