Blame Brad Penny for this one. He allowed 7 runs in 5+ innings of work and took the loss. The very first pitch he threw was tagged for a homer. He threw 37 pitches in the first inning alone, giving up 5 runs. He almost escaped with 2, as he had Rajai Davis down in the count 1-2 with 2 outs and the bases loaded. Davis then doubled off the wall, clearing the bases. That ended up making all the difference in the world, as Mike Lowell (2 for 3, 5 RBI) hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the inning which could have put them on ton 3-2. Instead the Sox had to play from behind all night. Down 3 in the bottom of the ninth, Boston plated one run thanks to an RBI single by Mike Lowell, but neither Kevin Youkilis, Jason Bay, nor J.D. Drew could deliver a big hit as the Sox lost 8-6.
