J.D. Drew grand slam leads Red Sox over Indians

J.D. Drew hit a two-out grand slam and finished with 5 RBI as the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 12-2 last night to force a Game 7 in the American League Championship Series.

The J.D. Drew Relief Fund was established because Drew makes $14 million a year and, until last night, had just a .270 batting average and lots of inning-ending strikeouts and double plays to show for it. It remains to be seen whether last night's heroics will spark Drew to become a consistent clutch hitter, or whether he'll revert to his old, disappointing ways. But for one night at least, he earned his money.
