Buccholz, now 1-1 with a 4.79 ERA, pitched six shutout innings during yesterday's victory over the Rangers. It was also the ninth game in which the Red Sox scored at least five runs.
The Sox were able to defeat the Rangers even though Manny had the day off (somewhat surprising after getting ejected from Sunday's game for arguing what he thought was a bad call). After a horrible start to his season, Ortiz managed two doubles and three RBIs...not too shabby.
Ellsbury, Pedroia, and Lugo all had multi-hit games, contributing to eight runs scored in the fourth and fifth innings. All Sox runs were scored against Texas reliever Dustin Nippert, who replaced Kason Gabbard after just two innings. Nippert gave up nine hits and eight runs in less than three innings.
Rookie Jed Lowrie (who I personally have had my eye on since his start last week) pushed down a bunt in the fourth, advancing J.D. Drew who had walked to first. Both of them scored.
