In the postseason, great pitching usually will win you a ballgame. Last night, the Red Sox got that exactly. A strong outing by Curt Schilling and spectacular work from Hidkei Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon out of the bullpen kept the score the same. The Rockies bullpen was equal to the task last night but their offense couldn’t do anything against the Sox pitching. The Sox now head to Denver up 2 games in this best of 7 series. So while you’re enjoying the last day of the work week for many, check out the headlines from the Denver and Boston area media along with the thoughts of Kevin Youkilis.
