“That’s what teammates do, They pick each other up.”
I thought this little bit uttered by Curtis Leskanic and printed in today’s Globe was a fitting title to a little wrap-up of last night’s game. The Sox shook off a mediocre start from Bronson Arroyo, a blown save from Keith Foulke, a golden opportunity squandered in the bottom of the ninth inning, a tenuous situation in the top of the twelfth when the O’s loaded the bases against Curtis Leskanic and in Orlando Cabrera’s case, personal tribulations, as the OC hit his first Fenway homer to give the Sox the win in the bottom of the twelfth.
Pickin’ each other up the whole game.
The Yankees lost and the Sox now trail by 3.5 games.
