So I watched this up till the last inning, and in typical Sox fashion, the last inning wasn’t clean, what with the tying run coming to the plate in what had previously been a 5-0 shutout. Not a good outing for Timlin in his reappearance as the closer, I thought (I know, not a save situation, but still…) Watching the footage on MLB.tv was more reassuring though - the two runs scored because of a botched pop-up catch (by Timlin himself) and a bloop hit. So it’s not like KC was smokin’. Fingers crossed.
And that was a REALLY nice slide by Johnny Damon past Buck.
