Top 7

Oki's still in.
A swinging strike one to Peralta. Hey, the only pitcher up in the Sox pen is Papelbon. Two innings tonight? I don't believe he's done that this year. No, I know he hasn't done that this year. At 2-1, Peralta flies out to Drew. That's one.
Lofton pops the first pitch into shallow left, and Lugo misses it. Scoring? Scoring? Scoring? E6. He should have caught it. Kenny's at 2nd. Manny should have gotten there.
Gutierrez takes strike one. Replay shows Lugo calling Manny off. Not his fault. Ball one, 1-1. Gutierrez hits a long foul down the left side, 1-2. Another foul along 3rd, still 1-2. Betancourt in the Cleveland pen. Gutierrez singles to left, but SKINNER STOPS LOFTON. Go figure! First and third, one out. This mess is not of Oki's making, but he's got to deal with it.
Blake hits a grounder to Lowell on the first pitch, to Pedroia, Dustin makes the turn to Youk and the INNING IS OVER! Great job Oki! Great job Mike! Great job Dustin! WHEW!!!!
At the stretch, 3-2 Sox.
Oki, Inning: 11 pitches, 8 strikes; Game: 22 pitches, 15 strikes. Nice work!
