Yesterday at Boston, the Red Sox went into a pitcher’s game with the Twins as nobody could score until the 8th inning when Manny Ramirez resurrected Boston’s hopes and won the game with an RBI single that drove Dustin Pedroia all through the four bases.
Frustration was the dominant factor for both teams along the game for the guys that went to the bat, but for others like Daisuke Matsuzaka, the night at Fenway Park was simply outstanding.
Matsuzaka is a player that is not recognized for going deep into games, but yesterday he managed to maintain his 9-1 record and take the game to the eight inning without allowing a single run by the Twins in the game that finished 1-0.
This was the first of a 3-game series to be played at Boston against the Twins, and with things looking like that we can expect the at least one more victory from the home team.
The Red Sox have been quite irregular during their last games, first with two straight losses to their most direct rival right now, the Tampa Bay Rays, then they flew to NY to face the Yankees, their all-time nemesis, and won 2 out of 4 at Yankee Stadium, so they are truly looking to revindicate with their fans against Minnesota, and we all know that the world series champs can do that and more…
