The Red Sox returned the favor last night in a blow out win over the Royals. The only run for the Royals came on a Jason LaRue sac. fly. Ross Gload had two of the three hits in the 7-1 loss.
Odalis Perez was knocked around for four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. Todd Wellemeyer gave up two runs in relief.
The rubber game is this afternoon and there’s some hype behind the game with Dice-K making his major league debut. Zach Greinke will take the first step in his comeback as he pitches for the Royals.
