This one had more bizarre plays in it than any Fenway game in recent memory. Runners thrown out at the plate like it was first base (
Daniel Nava and
Mike Carp for the good guys). A 2-4 double play like you've never seen before (Yankee catcher
Chris Stewart making a an incredible diving catch into the stands, whirling and throwing Nava out tagging up from first). A runner thrown out at second where the covering shortstop (
Stephen Drew) slid more than the runner. Unfortunately, Boston was on the short end of most of these plays—wasting another solid performance by
John Lackey. Thanks to newly-acquired "lefty specialist"
Matt Thornton, Lackey gave up four (rather than two) runs in
a 5-2 loss to The Evil Ones. The Carmine Hose attempt to take the series tomorrow night at 8PM.
