Lugo took care of the pitching issue for us, no? Now, Delcarmen needs to get us through this inning with minimal damage so we can get to Timlin in the 8th and Paps in the 9th.
Offensively next inning Youk should be leading off with Jacoby and Shorty to follow. One gets on base then we have Ortiz to hit. After the 8th the pitchers spot goes to Ortiz’s in the order so no issue there.
2 out. Gagne warming in bullpen with Oki. They’re not gonna
put him in the 8th with a 2 run lead?
