Martinez was badly overmatched on Pap's first pitch, a 96 mph fastball; strike one. Gas outside; ball one. 96 again, outside again; 2-1. Foul on another 96. He can't get around on our boy. 2-2. Foul again. Strike three on a fastball down the middle. Martinez never had a chance.
Garko looks at a 97 outside. Fox is showing the big goofy kid Papelbon from the ALDS celebration. And juxtaposing that with the killer currently on the mound. He ain't playing now! Ball two. Strike one, another 96. Garko doubles off the left-centerfield wall.
Peralta's 0-3 tonight. Strike one at 96 mph. Must be Pap's favorite number. Ball one. Ball two. Tap to Lugo at 2nd base; two outs, Garko at 3rd. Youk made a nice snag on his end.
Lofton's the last chance for Cleveland. Ball one, only 95. Strike one, outside corner. Ball two, low. Strike two. Ball three, outside. High, he walked him. First and third, two out.
Now Gutierrez becomes the last hope. Strike one, down the middle. And the game ends with Gutierrez flying out to Crisp on the warning track in right center.
The Sox win, 7-1. The Indians still lead the series, 3-2. Game 6 will be in Fenway Park on Saturday night.
