Red Sox vs Rangers recap
Red Sox vs Rangers boxscore
I guess it can't happen every time.
After the Sox came back to beat the Rangers Friday night, the same failed to happen Saturday as they lost, 7-2.
Brad Penny just wasn't very good in his start. He gave up four runs in 5.2 innings of work. The bullpen didn't back him up well either as Manny Delcarmen gave up a run and Fernando Cabrera gave up two. Ramon Ramirez was scoreless in .2 innings of work.
Offensively, Jason Bay and Victor Martinez hit home runs. That's about it (oh, Jacoby Ellsbury had two hits and walked once. Not too bad).
Alex Gonzalez went 0 for 4 in his debut while Brian Anderson didn't do too much better as he went 1 for 3.
One more thing to mention: the steals were ridiculous. Some Borbon dude stole four and Elvis stole three. That's just ridiculous. I'm not sure if it's Penny or Jason Varitek, but it's a huge problem.
Ugh. A game to not look back on. Sox finish the series Sunday at 2 p.m.
