The Sox and Indians played a Rembrandt of a game this afternoon, before a small gathering at Progressive Field. Jon Lester and Fausto Carmona matched brushstrokes through seven. In the eighth, "Madam I'm Adam" Everett led off with a walk, stole second, was sacrificed to third, and squeezed home by Asdrubal Cabrera for the game's first run.
The tying run -- pinch runner Darnell McDonald -- took a wide turn around second, fell, and was tagged out to end the game.
The Carmines head home winless in six road games. A disappointing total for a team expected to go 162 and 0 this season, that takes the shine off this weekend's renewal of The Rivalry played out on the Fox Saturday Red Sox-Yankees Game Of The Week, and ESP Red Sox-Yankees N Sunday night game.
