8/29 vs. Chicago

[riverside sluggers]

Solid win. Dice keeps on rolling to possibly 20 wins! A crazy good record already at 16-2. Pedroia, what else can you say about this kid?? On base 5 times including 4 Hits, 3 Runs, 2 SBs, great D. Youk with the 3 RBI game, just 6 away from reaching #100. Bay had just 1 hit but it was a big one. Nice to see Kotsay have an RBI double in his Fenway debut
