Red Sox 8 Rays 7
- Clay Buchholz's final Grapefruit League start fell apart in the fourth inning. Buchholz allowed six runs and nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. Sill overall he had a hell of a spring, and the Sox are really hoping that this spring training was the beginning of the emergence of Clay.
- Jason Varitek hit a HR in the 4th. He went 2-4 raising his batting average to .233 for the spring.
- Masterson pitched 2 2/3 innings allowing 1 run on 1 hit with 3 Ks to get the win. Ramon Ramirez pitched a scoreless 9th to get the save.
Other Notes:
- The Sox officially sent down Buccholz after this game. Penny seems to be on his way back, plus the Sox have a day off during their first week of the season, so (if needed) Penny can get an extra day off.
- Boston also sent down Jeff Bailey. He was beat out by Chris Carter. Both had an excellent spring.
- Boston has 4 spring training games left. They play Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and the Mets twice.
Boston's game today against the Pirates is at 1:05pm on NESN.
