It was another close game last night as the Sox ended up prevailing. Some strange plays happened. Big Papi backpedaling allowing Youk to score. Jonathan Papelbon’s emotions almost getting the better of him until Dustin Pedroia made a save of his own. The bullpen was awesome in relief of a great effort by Tim Wakefield.
