Delcarmen remains in the game.
Hawpe takes a ball, up and in. And another, 2-0. A strike on a terrible pitch. Meriwether strikes again. Hawpe fouls one to the left side, 2-2. A ball to fill the count. It's 3-1 as Hawpe smacks one to the right field seats. If the Rockies were going to score, that's exactly the way we wanted it to happen. A solo home run isn't a rally.
Torrealba takes a ball. And another. The infield comes to the mound to either threaten Delcarmen's life or give Okajima a second to warm up. Strike one, called; 2-1. He drives one to JD Drew at the foul line. One down.
Corey Sullivan pinch hits for Affeldt. He takes a called first strike. And ball one. High for ball two. He hits a solid single between Pedroia and the bag. Man on first, one out. Tito's headed out of the dugout. He will bring Mike Timlin into the game. Good call. Oki had to throw a lot of pitches last night. Tim can handle the situation.
Matsui's up. This will be an interesting confrontation. Ball one. And a called strike. Tim makes him look bad swinging at strike two. Tim got him! A weak swing at an inside pitch. Two down.
Now Tulo. Called strike one on the outside corner. Ball one. Ball two on a better pitch than strike one was. A legit ball three. Tim comes back with a called strike two. Tulo fouls it straightback; we'll do it again. TIM GETS HIM SWINGING! That's huge-the old guy came in and struck out Matsui and Tulo. Holliday will lead off the bottom of the 8th with the Sox at least two up. Healthy!
After 7, 3-1 Sox. Six outs away.
