You have to wonder how the Red Sox are staying close to the Rays and Yankees with all the injuries they have sustained. The Sox have lost Jacoby Ellsbury, Jeremy Hermida, Clay Buchholz, Dustin Pedroia, Victor Martinez, Manny Delcarmen, Josh Beckett, and Jason Varitek to injuries. Tonight, on July 6th, the Red Sox will send Felix Doubront to the mound. The big lefty will look to win his second game in his second start. Due to injuries, they had to call him up. They also had to trade for Kevin Cash, get Eric Patterson, and call up Daniel Nava. Bill Hall is playing well at second base, and Darnell McDonald has been playing hard.
Trivia
Did you know:
Bill Hall can play any position except pitcher, catcher, and first base?
The Red Sox have seen two "brother matchups?" (J.D. and Stephen Drew, then Eric and Corey Patterson)
Daniel Nava hit a grand slam on the first pitch thrown to him in the big leagues, and in Jeremy Hermida's first at-bat, (with the Braves) he hit a grand slam?
See you tomorrow!
