End 7th, Red Sox 3-0: After the Marco Scutaro two-run double the Yankees turn to Boone Logan, who gets Carl Crawford on a hard grounder to a drawn-in Robinson Cano. They then elect to put on Dustin Pedroia to face Adrian Gonzalez with the bases loaded. Teams will pay for that at some point, but Logan gets Gonzalez to fly to left. It’s safe to say we will see Logan and Gonzalez matched up in a … (News Source: New England Sports Network - 12:11:32)

Lowrie connects during rare start

BOSTON - On an afternoon when there were so few bright spots for the Red Sox that the lights were inexplicably turned on in an apparent effort to create one, the play from the shortstop position still shone through. Jed Lowrie went 3 for 4 after coming in with only seven at-bats for the season. With that performance, he matched the hit total that starting shortstop Marco Scutaro has in 21 at-bats.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia Returns to Lineup, Marco Scutaro Looks to Break Out Against Fausto Carmona

Aside from Jarrod Saltalamacchia returning to the lineup to catch Jon Lester, there are no changes in the Red Sox batting order for Thursday’s series finale in Cleveland. Saltalamacchia started the first four games of the season before giving way to Jason Varitek in Wednesday’s 8-4 loss.

Boston Red Sox: 5 Different Lineup Changes to Shake Things Up in Boston

Kevin Youkilis, Adrian … (News Source: Bleacher Report - 13:06:11)

Red Sox 9, Yankees 6: There’s no place like home

It was far from pretty, but to the Red Sox it was a thing of beauty. After starting the season with six straight losses, amid expectations of perhaps the finest season in franchise history, Boston finally won its first game of 2011 yesterday. The Red Sox offense delivered enough to survive an awful effort from starting pitcher John Lackey, and the bullpen was superb in a 9-6 win over the New … (News Source: The MetroWest Daily News - 05:25:54)
