[0:00]" The three elements that are essential in winning baseball as you know our pitching hitting and -- all three came together for the Red Sox last night. In the 41 win over the Angels of Anaheim in game one of their best of five failed dios. The general line of thinking and any post season series for the road team. Win at least one of the first two games on the road the Sox did just that beyond the seven innings of six hit seven strikeout and one unearned run pitching of Jon Lester. He was top shelf after getting out of a bases loaded jam in the first inning and took it in from there. John Lackey had the one nothing lead for the Angels standing up through five innings but then -- the sixth. And played in his first ever post season game. Jason Bay game through blasting a two run home run for the game what are Jacoby Ellsbury big -- twenty ninth inning RBI singles to pad the lead. Just in mass which went scoreless eighth inning Jonathan Papelbon scoreless ninth nailed down for the Red Sox. Two terrific defensive plays helped a great deal in the eighth inning. Ellsbury made a diving catch of a potential base yet and in the same inning Kevin Youkilis after trying to chase down a pop fly it on the right field line picked up the ball rifled a throw to third to -- Vladimir Guerrero trying to go from first -- third. Those two plays sloppy now what could have been a big inning for the Angels so those talks with the series one game to none and suddenly the Dayton one regular season series as for the Angels. No longer makes them look invincible it was the tenth consecutive Red Sox win over the Angels in the post season and that -- a Major League Baseball record. I don't circles WBZ sports."
