Diamond in the Rough

Neil Diamond shows up to sing Sweet Caroline in the middle of the eighth inning, then Daniel Nava hits a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning to give the Red Sox a 4-2 lead. Boston could not have scripted it any better. Now, Andrew Bailey gets to try to save a game.

Update: Lorenzo Cain leads off the inning with a solo home run, and the Boston lead is down to 4-3. Cain came into the inning with two doubles and a single on the day. Cain is now batting .392 with a .429 OBP.

Update: Bailey made it interesting, putting two more batters on base, but a ground ball to short ends the game with the Red Sox winning 4-3. Clay Buchholz gets the win, going eight strong innings walking one and striking out six. His ERA now stands at 0.90.
