Red Sox 10, Rockies 5
Boston got a great contribution from two unlikely heroes Saturday night, powering past Colorado, 10-5 in Game 3 of the World Series. Jason Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia shredded Rockies pitching, combining for seven hits, four RBI and three runs at the top of the Red Sox lineup.
Boston took a 6-0 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning, but when Colorado cut the deficit to 6-5 in the seventh and eighth innings, Ellsbury and Pedrioa were at their best. In the bottom of the eighth Ellsbury doubled to right field, scoring Julio Lugo. Pedroia then broke the game open, following with a two-run double of his own and giving Boston a 10-5 lead.
The Red Sox got yet another solid pitching performance in this series, this time from Daisuke Matsuzaka. Dice-K went 5.1 innings, yielding just two runs on three hits. Boston is now one win away from winning its second World Series titles in three seasons.
