Daniel Nava's second single of the night (and sixth hit in the last two games) drove in Ryan Kalish a few minutes later with the go-ahead run as the Red Sox swept the Marlins.
Again, Matsuzaka (5.1-4-4-1-4, 101) had a rough first inning, allowing three hits, one walk, and three runs; the Marlins also stole three bases. After Miami took a 3-0 lead, Dice then retired the next 14 batters.
Scott Atchison threw two scoreless innings (seventh and eighth) in relief, and Alfredo Aceves pitched the ninth, needing only seven pitches to notch the save.

Where's he Lackman? It's only 2 hours before game time and no thread started.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and L had a great time in Boston and enjoyed 2 sweet wins :)
Our trip was GREAT! I hope someone started the thread. We got home at 8:00 and are watching the game from the beginning, so no threading!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure there is another player on the roster who goes to third on that play, like Kalish did..
