Aaron Cook was in the minor leagues just a few weeks ago, unsure if he would get another chance at showing the Boston Red Sox he could be an option in their starting rotation. Cook's start Friday night was a strong argument to keep him on the pitching staff. Cook threw a two-hitter in the finest performance of his career, Will Middlebrooks, Cody Ross and Daniel Nava all hit solo homers in the fifth inning, and the Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0. http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=320629112&teams=boston-red-sox-vs-seattle-mariners
