GAME 112: Temper, temper...

At Fenway Park, the Red Sox sent youngster Junichi Tazawa to the mound for his first US professional start, and, other than a rough first inning with a blown double play by the Infielder Without Portfolio, Nick Green, Tazawa did fine. However, he did hit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera with a pitch, and when Detroit's Rick Porcello hit Boston's Kevin Youkilis in response, it was on. Benches were emptied, kerfluffles were fluffed.

But thanks to two homers from Mike Lowell, American Hero, Boston took a 6-3 lead into a rain delayed 7th inning. At present, they are emerging from the rain, so the remainder of the accounts and descriptions of this game without the express written consent of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball will have to wait until the morn.

  1. Maybe that's the fire starter we need. I hope they save it for the game.
