Aaaaaand breathe.

There will not be a sweep at the hands of the Evil Empire. Garrett Crochet got down and dirty, striking out 12 Yankees en route to an extremely necessary victory. A six run first inning hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the season: score early and hold onto the lead. Less drama.

It keeps the Sox in the second Wild Card spot, which is as neutral as you can get for the weekend. With the [insert NorCal city here] Athletics rolling into town, this is another critical series to not worry about anybody else and rack up some wins.

Still, at least come confidence after tonight’s victory.
