Youkilis aided the Boston offense with a triple to open the second and a towering homer to left in the sixth off Halladay, giving the Red Sox a 4-0 lead.
The homer that Youkilis hit was anything but towering. Maybe 'towering' is one of those adjectives that they throw in there to avoid the appearance of boilerplate writing, but Youk's homer landed in the first row of the left field stands. He hit it well, no question, but if you're gonna classify it then it was a line drive homer.
The second:
Halladay appeared to have an inning-ending double play in the fourth, but Adrian Beltre's soft grounder went straight through third baseman Greg Dobbs' legs, allowing two runs to score for a 3-0 advantage.
Again with the nitpicking but Beltre's grounder wasn't soft. It was hit pretty hard. And it if had been soft there wouldn't have been a chance for a double play.
Makes me wonder if the writer saw the game.
