Most Red Sox fans are not panicking but they are in a state of shock after yet another loss. Dice-K joined the rest of the rotation in failing to record the first quality start for the Red Sox. Matsuzaka left after five after giving up 3 runs. Disaster struck in the the 6th when Reyes couldn’t get an out, in fact he only threw one strike in 12 pitches. The Red Sox almost caught a break when Youk made a great play on a grounder to third, tagged the base and threw home. Tek didn’t see him touch the base and thought it was a force play so he didn’t tag the runner and a run scored. Later in the inning Cabrera hit a three-run homer off of Dan Wheeler.
Wake came in for mop-up duty and gave up another homer later in the game.
Marco Scutaro did get his first hit of the season and Adrian Gonzalez hit his first homer as a member of the Red Sox in the game.
