Dustin Pedroia's shining 'D'

"On a night when the Red Sox pounded their way to a 10-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, a defensive play early served as a game-changer.

The Brewers were in the midst of a third-inning rally, with four straight singles cutting the Sox lead to 4-3. There were no outs and Sox starter John Lackey was in need of some major help.

Enter Dustin Pedroia.

Casey McGehee smashed a rocket to Pedroia's left that the second baseman dove to snare on one hop. Pedroia wheeled and threw to second from his knees to start a double play. A run scored, but Lackey settled down. He retired 15 straight batters and the Sox pulled away for the easy win at Fenway Park."
