PawSox win matinee game

The Pawtucket Red Sox came from behind on the strength of a three-run seventh inning to beat the Durham Bulls, 5-4, this afternoon at McCoy Stadium.

Craig Breslow got the win, pitching two scoreless innings in relief of starter Abe Alvarez. Jermaine Van Buren pitched the ninth for the save.

Trying to protect a 4-2 lead, Bulls relief pitcher Jason Cromer walked the bases loaded. Pawtucket got two runs on a single by Rodney Nye, and catcher Corky Miller drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly. The Journal will profile Miller tomorrow.

Top infield prospect Dustin Pedroia hit his first home run as a member of the PawSox.

The win moved the PawSox, who lost the first two games of the three-game series, to 11-10 on the season.
