Now, the job for Dice K: throw strikes, and keep throwing them. That's all.
The pitcher's spot is due first, and Morales will hit. They'll need a few innings from him. Strike one. At 1-2, Morales strikes out swinging.
Matsui stands in. Strike one, called. Matsui is staging one terrific at bat. Full count, 8 pitches. And on the ninth, he swings and misses. Two down.
Strike one to Tulo. At 0-2 he grounds to Lugo, and Papi holds the bag, making a long stretch to get a throw to the plate side of first. Everything's working!
After 3, 6-0 Sox.
Inning: 18 pitches, 14 of them strikes; Game: 42 pitches, 30 of them strikes. Incredible ratio. Like Game 7 against the Indians, the pitch count is a little higher than it should be due to the incredible number of two strike fouls the Rockies have hit--5 of them just in the 3rd.
