Red Sox beat Orioles 3-2; Beckett wins # 18

Went to the Orioles game today with my buddy Colin. I got 2 tickets to the game from a friend of mine who couldn't go. It was pretty much a guarantee from the start that the Red Sox would pull away with the W. A) Beckett pitched. This guy's money in the bank - he is now 18 and 6 on the season with an incredibly low 3.27 ERA. B.) We're the Red Sox. Self-explanatory. C.) They're the Orioles. Also self-explanatory.

So Colin and I drove down to the game, and got there a bit early to get some free food, which happened to be a part of the ticket plan. The food was pretty good, though we were still left with about an hour of time after we finished eating. We walked around for a bit and found our seats, which, though only a few rows away from the last possible row, gave us a fantastic vantage point for the game. After about a half an hour after sitting down, some familiar college faces showed up to the game, which was cool.

Beckett pitched a pretty phenomenal game, but oddly gave up 2 home runs, the only 2 runs the O's scored in the game. He had only given up somewhere in the vicinity of 15 homers all season, so to give up 2 in one game was kind of bizarre. But whatever, we won!
