Well the first game of the season was certainly a dousey, it involved Tokyo, extra innings and plenty of coffee. At 6 am eastern time, Dice-K Pitched terribly in the first 2 innings putting the Sox in a hole off a Mark Ellis home-run. However, he was able to right the ship in the next three innings and pitched somewhat dominantly. Dice-K's stats were 5 IP, 5 BB, and 6 Ks.
In the fifth inning the Sox were able to capture a 3-2 lead when Brandon Moss knocked in a run, than Manny Ramirez hit a double driving in 2 off of Joe Blanton. That's when Kyle Snyder entered the game and immediately gave up the lead giving up a 2 run home-run to Jack Hannahan.
Huston Street the A's closer gave up a solo home-run to Brandon Moss to knot the game up at 4, than in the 10th gave up a 2 run double to Manny to basically solidify the game. Papelbon struggled in the bottom of the 10th giving up 3 hits and 1 run, but eventually was able to shut the door on the feisty A's.
