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.
