76

We've heard of a walk-off home run, but a walk-off sacrifice bunt? That's what happened last night. Scott Podsednik singled (his second hit of the night, but only the fourth for the team). Josh Fields, who earlier with Pods on first, had -- on his own -- tried bunting him along but failed, laid down a good one that the Tiger pitcher bobbled and then threw away while attempting to nail Fields at first. When the ball got loose, Pods tore around the bases and just beat the throw to the plate with a nice slide. Sox win 4-3!

Jon Danks contributed a quality start -- 6.2 innings, six hits, three runs, two walks, and five Ks. The bullpen -- Wassserman and Jenks -- gave up no hits or runs and Jenks, pitching in a non-save situation, was the beneficiary of the run in the ninth to give him his third W of the season. The lesson to be learned from last night: Speed kills.

The win allowed the Sox to take the series from the Tigers 3-2. It chopped the Magic Number to 76 and Detroit's lead to 14.5 games. It was the first series that the Sox have won at home in more than two months -- a stretch of eight series. it moved the Good Guys to within two games of Baltimore in the imaginary A.L. Worst division, tied with Texas and 1.5 games in front of KC. We still have a shot at an imaginary division title and playoff spot. Go Sox!
