Sox Star of the Game: Manny Ramirez (4 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 2 RBI, 1 BB)
Game Notes: Way to win the first game. Kyle Snyder exhibited struggles in the 5th like he’s used to. He’s effective through the first four innings, then hits a patch of struggling. Craig Hansen continued his second inning woes, but we came away with a win thanks to home-runs: D Ortiz (33, 1st inning off J Moyer 0 on, 2 Out); A Gonzalez (7, 3rd inning off J Moyer 1 on, 0 Out); J Varitek (10, 4th inning off J Moyer 0 on, 0 Out); K Youkilis (11, 5th inning off J Moyer 1 on, 0 Out); M Ramirez (26, 5th inning off J Moyer 1 on, 1 Out). Going up against King Felix is Kason Gabbard making his first ever start. What he’s got going for him: He’s a lefty, and the Mariners hate lefties. What he doesn’t: It’s King Felix. Enjoy the game.
