As the seventh inning started at Fenway Park Friday night, the Red Sox were nine outs from what would have been their signature victory of the season.
Down by five runs in the first inning against the Yankees, the determined Sox overcame a terrible start by Josh Beckett to take a one-run lead. Manager Bobby Valentine also had his best relievers lined up just the way he wanted them.

Rodriguez did NOT single during the rally; Aviles made a bad error and it opened up the floodgates. Is Iglesias off the DL yet??? Time to put him in and get some good fielding out of the SS position!!
