Game 160: For Momentum's Sake...Oh, And The Playoffs

By Ben Buchanan

That win last night was something else, yeah?

15 hits, 7 runs (the first time in a month that the Sox have scored between 5 and 10), and one big 14th inning homer from our MVP in Jacoby Ellsbury. All against the Yankees--even if not a Yankees team that was particularly invested in winning. That it possibly saved our playoff chances, well, all-the-better.

So let's take advantage of that sort of inspiring win and get two in a row for once.
