Red Sox win game 1

The Rays went into the American League Championship series with the Red Sox with a slight advantage winning the regular season series 10-8. That edge didn't seem to help in the first game of the series with the Red Sox pulling away with a win 2-0. Dice-K had some struggle in the first inning but got out of it like usual and then found his grove. He had a no-hitter until the 7th inning when he gave up two hits but still came out of it. The Red Sox went up 2-0 when a Rays outfielder dove for a ball but missed which scored Dustin Pedroia and they went up 2-0. Then Hideki Okajima and Justin Masterson came in and closed the next inning. Finally Jonathan Papelbon came in and finished the game out like usual and the Red Sox are up 1 game to none.
