Red Sox outfielder J.D. Drew on Game One win:
“Hopefully it set the tone. I think it was definitely a great statement.”
“It is a short series and you want to accumulate wins as fast as you can. “I don’t think in any series you play you take wins for granted. This is a building block and hopefully we can carry into the next game.”
Drew on Kevin Youkilis:
“To see him come up with a big home run and double was great for him. I think he had some good at-bats tonight. . . Fans in Boston love him."
Drew on David Ortiz:
“He loves the big stage. He loves to go out there and perform at that level. He’s having a lot of fun and it’s fun to watch.”
Drew on Josh Beckett:
“It was one of those dominating performances that you don’t see too often. After the first hitter, he was virtually unhittable. He threw the ball great and he had a great night.”
Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp on the victory:
I don’t know what kind of a boost it is. We’ll see [Friday]. It’s just good to win, I don’t think it matters in what fashion whether we score 40 runs or we win by one run. A win is a win, and you always feel good after a win, either way.”
Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo:
“We put the pressure on them. They have to win at least two in a row.”
