Deprived of Jacoby until the 9th inning...

Unfortunately, Jacoby Ellsbury was not in the lineup tonight. Instead, Coco was in center field and Jacoby had the day off. However, in the bottom of the 9th inning Manny came out of the came and Ellsbury came into left field. He also made the final catch that ended the game.

David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez also hit back-to-back homers, which was the 47th time that they have hit home runs in the same game. Manny's homer also brings him to HR number 497 of his career.

Wakefield had a great night only giving up 2 hits, no walks and had 6 strikeouts. Wake left after the 8th after throwing 98 pitched and Timlin came in to finish the game; Wakefield got the win.

Sox won 5-0.
