Playoff Baseball Is Back

Playoff baseball returned to Boston for the first time since the 2009 season and it got off to a great start. The Red Sox were able to score 12 runs while every starter in the lineup collected at least one hit. The turning point of the game came in the 5th inning when Will Myers missed a fly ball right in front of the Red Sox bullpen. Myers mistake lead to a 5 run inning for the Red Sox. These 5 runs would prove to be enough but the Red Sox kept hitting and scored 7 more runs. But everyone knows pitching and defense wins games. Jon Lester went 7.2 innings and allowed 3 hits. History says that the Red Sox are in good position to win this series and possiblely  more. The last time the Red Sox had the best record in the majors and last time the won the American League East, they went on to win the World Series. Everything is looking good for the Red Sox right now.
