The Pittsburgh Pirates were able to defeat the Bostoners 9-4 on a beautiful afternoon in Fort Myers. Mike Cameron provided a bright spot with a thrashed two-run double while Daniel Bard worked a scoreless inning. Josh Beckett only went 4 innings and a little while giving up five runs and being hit for the loss. Darnell McDonald smashed a home run and Lars Anderson rapped out another and a hit in the loss. Scott Atchison gave up two more while Lenny DiNardo, in his second stint with the Sox, matched that total. I hope that Beckett and Atchison can get back into top form by the beginning of the season.
Tonight as I write, the Sox will face down the Yankees. Adrian Gonzalez cannot wait to be a Red Sock to face down their rivals, and he does not want to miss any games this season.. Alfredo Aceves is starting, and so far he has given up just 1 run in 3 innings of work, while Jacoby Ellsbury has made a nice running catch. Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia are both starting, and both hope to improve on the Florida game's performance, though that is almost impossible. I hope that the Sox can win or at least show that their A-team can hold up to the Yanks.
Trivia
Aceves used to play for the Yanks, and he is 14-1 in his career.
