The Nava Legend Grows as Red Sox Beat Phils

nava

On the first pitch he faced as a major leaguer, Daniel Nava hit a grand slam into the Red Sox bullpen.  He is only the second player in MLB history to hit a grand slam in the first pitch he faced.  The home run was part of a five run second inning for the Sox as they cruised to an easy victory over the Phillies.  J.D. Drew had three hits in the game including a home run.

Dice-K was scratched form the start with a forearm strain and will be headed to the DL.  Tito had to go with a set of relievers including Atchison, MDC, Oki, Ram Ram and Paps instead of a starter.
