 A look at Wednesday morning sports from the Pulse of New Hampshire. Don't look now, but the Red Sox are a high 10 games above .500. They are now in third in the American League East at 50-40, their best record of the year. Red Sox have won back-to-back games after opening their series against the Oakland Athletics with a 12-9 victory at Fenway Park last night. Brian Bale was credited with the win after striking out 11 batters and allowing five runs over five and a third innings. Boston will continue with the Oakland Athletics tonight.
