Sox
You can never get enough walk-off home runs. This one clinched a sweep. It was one of three in the major leagues today.
Guest of my friend Dan, I spent a nice sunny afternoon in the center field bleachers at Fenway. Clement pitched a great game against the A's (Zito pitched well too but gave up four in the second and third), but Foulke entered in the 9th (Timlin and Myers handled the 8th) to lose a 4-1 lead, sending it to 5-4 into the bottom of the ninth. Jason Varitek hit a walk-off home run off Dotel with Ortiz on first from a walk. Dotel also gave up a walk-off RBI double the night before. Foulke ended up with a blown save and the win, something I don't think should be allowed. I'll tell the first MLB official who asks me. Blown save, no win. Foulke might agree; he was looking pretty glum in the post-game interview.
Here's the box score.
