Starting pitchers Ubaldo Jimenez (38) of the Colorado Rockies and Curt Schilling (38) of the Boston Red Sox display their pitching forms during Game Two of the 2007 Major League Baseball World Series at Fenway Park in Boston on Oct. 25, 2007.
Rockies third baseman Garrett Atkins stretches to catch a ground out by Boston Red Sox's Mike Lowell during the second inning.
The Rockies' Ryan Spilborghs, right, walks away from Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek after being called out on strikes in the fifth inning. Coming off eight days of rest, the wide-eyed Rockies looked awfully rusty while getting blitzed in the opener. They hardly resembled the team that had won 10 straight and 21 of 22 to earn the first pennant in its 15-year history.
The Red Sox's Mike Lowell slides into third, running from first on a single by J.D. Drew in the fourth inning. Lowell scored later on a sacrifice fly by Jason Varitek. Lowell hit a tie-breaking double in the fifth that put Boston ahead 2-1.
Jason Varitek (33) of the Red Sox connects for a sacrifice fly RBI against the Rockies. Varitek's sacrifice fly tied the game at 1.
The Rockies' Todd Helton (17), Kazuo Matsui (7), Troy Tulowitzki (2) and Garrett Atkins (27) watch as pitcher Jeremy Affeldt warms up in the fifth inning. Boston loaded the bases, but Matt Herges retired Jason Varitek on an easy fly ball to end the inning.
Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling (38) tips his hat as he walks off the field after being taken out of the game during the sixth inning. Schilling improved to 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA in 19 postseason starts.
Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis (20) tags out Colorado Rockies' Matt Holliday on a pickoff throw from pitcher Jonathan Papelbon to end the top of the eighth inning. Papelbon finished up in the ninth, securing Schilling's third victory in four starts this postseason and his second save.
Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon celebrates after striking out Colorado Rockies' Brad Hawpe to save the Red Sox's 2-1 win. Papelbon and Hideki Okajima have combined for 17 1/3 scoreless innings in October.
The Red Sox celebrate after game two of the World Series against the Rockies Thursday, Oct. 25, 2007, at Fenway Park in Boston. The Red Sox won 2-1 to take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Series will shift to spacious Coors Field for Game 3 on Saturday night, when $103 million rookie Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches for Boston against Josh Fogg.
