Still One Hit
Garza retires the Red Sox in order in the fourth, picking up his sixth K of the game. At this point I'm wondering if there will be another hit in the game. Both pitchers are throwing twice as many strikes as balls.
Update: There is as Iwamura leads off the bottom of the fourth with a single.
Update: Upton strikes out as he swings over a low pitch. One down.
Update: Pena grounds slowly to Pedroia. He takes a risk trying to get Iwamura at second, and throws to Youkilis for the out. Kevin was shifted over, and his time at first probably came in handy on that play. Two down, Pena at first for Longoria.
Update: Longoria lines a 2-2 pitch into the rightfield corner. Pena, with two outs, was running on contact and just scores as the throw was just up the third base line. The Rays tie the game at one and Longoria is at second for Crawford.
Update: Lester strikes out Crawford to end the fourth. Both pitcher own six strikeouts through four innings and the game is tied at one.
