Mauro Gomez, 1B

Jeremy Hazelbaker, LF

Xander Bogaerts, 3B

Jonathan Diaz, 2B

Dan Butler, C

[mabrowndog]

Busy 1st for Uehara. After the leadoff single, he gets a FO to Henry in RF, who throws to Gomez to double the runner off first. Then an ROE (by Diaz), another single, and finally a strikeout.

 

Sox go in order, with JBJ lining out on a 2-2 FB to center to end it.

 

Andrew Bailey on to pitch the 2nd.

 

Other scheduled pitchers vs BC: RHP Oscar Villareal, RHP Terry Doyle, RHP Jose De La Torre, RHP Junichi Tazawa.

 

Sox have called up 9 players from minor league camp for the BC game.

Gameday for BC game

JBJ with an RBI double off the base of the wall in right center.

[mabrowndog]

BC got a run off Tazawa in the 3rd (walk, double, GO).

 

JBJ's drive came in the bottom half, following a Renfroe HBP, a Henry walk, and a Holt RBI single that put runners on 1st & 3rd. Gomez up now.

[mabrowndog]

Gameday is stalled, but apparently Gomez drove both guys in. BC is making a pitching change with the Sox up 5-1 and Bogaerts about to hit.

 

EDIT - OK, Gomez 2-run single, Hazelbaker walk, Xander fly out.

 

Diaz with a 2-run double to make it 7-1, and then...

 

Tim Britton @TimBritton

Dan Butler hits a two-run HR over the Monster. Red Sox prospects mashing more than Red Sox regulars. They're up 9-1 in the third.

Renfroe GO, Henry HBP, and Holt Ks to end an 8-run third inning.

 

Oscar Villareal on to pitch the 4th for Boston.

On the grounder to 3rd --- 

 

Mike Petraglia @Trags

Bogaerts with a nice backhand behind third and throw across diamond to get batter

 

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

Bogaerts looks pretty comfortable at third. Just made a strong throw from deep behind the bag.

Wilkerson with a 2-run shot in the 5th, scoring Vazquez (leadoff walk) ahead of him.

 

Terry Doyle facing his alma mater in the 6th. Gets an F-8, G1-3, and G6-3.

 

In the bottom half, Xander doubles to LF on a liner to the LCF gap. This after having been robbed of extra bases on a (reportedly) sweet catch of a hard liner back in the 4th. He's 1-for-4 on the day.

 

Meanwhile, Ryan Dent pinch-hits for Diaz and reaches on an E-6 with Xander holding at 2nd. Vazquez flies to RF for out #2, and Alberto Rosario (who pinch-hit for Renfroe earlier and became the DH) flies to CF to end the threat.

 

11-1 Sox heading to the 7th.

JBJ with an RBI double off the base of the wall in right center.

Is it too early for a man-crush?

Is it too early for a man-crush?

Too late.

[mabrowndog]

Doyle works around a Ryan Dent error to pitch a scoreless 7th on three ground-outs.

 

Sox win 11-1.
