Red Sox ride Schilling to 2-0 Series edge (10.26.07) — BOSTON (AP -- The Boston Red Sox are showing the Colorado Rockies they can win big and they can win little. The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead in the World Series by nipping the Rockies 2-1 in a tense pitchers' duel that was a sharp contrast to their 13-1 opening-game win. Boston's 40-year-old right-hander Curt Schilling gave up a lone run in the first inning but settled down to pitch five and a-third strong innings. He allowed one run on four hits to improve his career postseason record to 11-and-2, and 3-and-0 this year. Hideki Okajima (hih-DEH'-kee oh-kah-JEEM'-ah) was stunning in relief. He got out of a two-on, one-out jam in the sixth inning and retired all seven batters he faced, striking out four. Jonathan Papelpon got the final four outs for the save. Mike Lowell's double in the fifth drove in the go-ahead run. Schilling called his relief tandem "the Pap-ajimi show." It has Boston in the driver's seat for its second World Series title in four seasons. Today is a travel day before the scene moves to Denver for Game 3 Saturday night.
