Red Sox 3 Indians 1

The Red Sox took there 10 game winning streak to Cleveland where Wakefield matched up against 2008 Cy Young winner Cliff Lee. Wake was awesome again allowing one hit through 7 innings though he did walk 3. Lee went 8 innings and gave up a bunch of singles.

Manny DelCarmen pitched a scoreless 8th for the Sox and the Tribe brought in new closer former Cub Kerry Wood for the 9th. Pedroia walked then Big Papi got a hit and Youk flied out.

Next up was Jason Bay who blasted a 1-1 pitch deep into the left field bleachers, his 2nd two out 9th inning homer off a dominating pitcher in 4 days, to put the Sox up 3-0.

Papelbon came in for the bottom of the 9th and immediately gave up 2 hard hit singles. He struck out Peralta for the 1st out then gave up another shot which plated a run. He struck out the former Red Sox prospect Kelly Shoppach then got Francisco to pop up to Youk to end the game and extend the winning streak to 11 games and put the Sox atop the AL East with a 13-6 record tied for first with Toronto.
