Ortiz Homer Not Enough To Win Game Two

John Lackey was the hard luck loser Thursday night as the Cardinals capitalized on a key Red Sox error. David Ortiz once again turned back the clock and gave the Sox a 2-1 lead after hitting a two run homer in the sixth. But just as soon as they took the lead they gave it back in the top of the 7th. A lot of credit is also due to Cardinal pitching. Michael Wacha pitched 6 more strong innings and struck out 6. With the series tied up, the Sox will need to pick up at least one win in St Louis to make the series return to Boston.
