19 innings for the Sox and Sox yesterday. Trot Nixon went oh-fer-NINE!! First time anybody's done that since '91 -- Rafael Palmiero did it back then. And the reason it went extras is that Papelbon finally coughed one up. (It's actually his second blown save, but the first one was an impossible sitch.) Oh well, it's bound to happen once or twice.
On the plus side, I think Putz picked up the save for the M's yesterday. (Gratuitous "Putz" reference, just to make JR smile.)
