Sox victorious in Oakland

Papi finally came through (was there ever any doubt?) with a homerun last night, just when we needed it most. He broke the scoreless tie with the A's by hitting a 2-run homerun and paving the way for an eventual 5-0 victory. The Old Towne Team is off to a great start, taking the series (both in Tokyo and in Oakland) 3-1.

In the eighth inning the Sox secured a win with five singles that resulted in two runs, giving Lester his first win of the season. First Dice-K, now Lester - hopefully this is just a preview of things to come.

J.D. Drew played for the first time this season, leaving us to wonder who the starting CF will be - Ellsbury or Crisp?
