127

It's maddening watching either Dice K or Jon Lester pitch. They both have great stuff and are hard to hit. But they walk sooo many batters. Eight last night for Dice and like most of his starts, his inability to throw more strikes drove up his pitch count. He was gone after 5 innings with 109 pitches thrown.

He only gave up one run and only two hits. But eight walks in five innings!!

The magic number for the Red Sox to clinch the division is 127. That's the lowest in the majors. They have the third best record in the majors, behind the Diamondbacks and Cardinals.
