These two games were won with a combination of good defense, gnawing at the soft underbelly of Cleveland's pitching staff, and by their own bullpen not disastrously imploding on them. That's all there is to it.
Good Stuff: The Mike Timlin we all know and fear showed up. Julian Tavarez and Javier Lopez pitched well. Ortiz is taking baby steps out of his slump. Youkilis, Manny, and Varitek all hit home runs. Jed Lowrie did well in his first major league appearance.
Not so Good Stuff: Lugo, who had started out hot at the plate, seemed to have become a little tepid before tonight's game. Alex Cora may need to head toward the disabled list.
