Starter Kevin Millwood looked sharp, working out of an early jam in the 1st to go 7+ innings, allowing only one earned run. Boston's vaunted lineup was out of sorts for most of the night with Millwood mixing up his pitched well and getting a some quality defense him.
"I think any time you're confident in your defense, you are going to pitch better and you are going to be more willing to throw more strikes and not worry about letting guys hit the ball," said Millwood. "You aren't trying to strike everybody out, you're just trying to keep it off the sweet spot."
Ian Kinsler supplied most of the offense, drilling a 3-run shot over the historic Green Monster in left field.
"It's always a nice feeling to hit one over that big thing (the green monster)," said Kinsler.
Chris Davis also had a great game and is hopefully starting to round into form at the plate. He went 3-for-4 with a double and a RBI.
The win was Yexas' first in their last 9 tries in Boston.
