Dice-K did not look like the WBC MVP today; he gave up long balls in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th innings. Garza was mowing the Sox batters down until Bay’s RBI triple put the first run on the board for Boston in the 6th. Lowrie killed 2 rallies in the game and is now ice cold at the plate. Another two weeks and fans will be wishing for Lugo. The Red Sox were down by two going into the 9th. Tek led off the inning with his 2nd home run of the season but the late inning rally would not be enough to catch the Rays.
The Good: Ramon Ramirez – 1 2/3 innings of no hit ball
The Bad: Pedroia 0-5
The Ugly: Lowrie 0-4 2 K’s 3 LOB
Red Sox Lose 4-3 BOX SCORE

The team heads out here to California to take on the Angels and then Oakland. Tomorrow should be an emotional game for LAA and should be difficult for all players involved.
