When J.D. Drew stepped to the plate in the eighth inning, with Jason Varitek standing on second base and the day yielding to darkness, a feat lay before him, in the gaps and down the lines. Despite his best intentions - and you better believe he was trying to hit a double to complete his first care...
There was nothing to complain about from Boston starter Brad Penny; his numbers - 6 IP, 6 K, 6 hits, 2 runs - would be plenty for a W if the offense could have scratched anything else up against the M's' Garrett Olson and company. Jon Lester will try to avert the sweep today.
