Some cushion
Jed Lowrie hasn't had a multi-hit game since Aug. 12, but he's got three walks tonight and the last one forced in Dustin Pedroia to give Boston a 7-4 lead, and a little more room to breathe going into the ninth.
It was also Lowrie's double that plated Jason Bay and got things started in a four-run sixth inning.
To the top of the ninth with Jonathan Papelbon on the way in, "Wild Thing" thumping through the speakers.

Jonathan Papelbon does NOT come on to "Wild Thing". His song is "Shipping Up To Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys and that is what was playing as he came on last night.
