Attrition
Two blasts by David Ortiz weren’t enough to salvage this rain-drenched series opener. The sky opened up with two out and Yunel Escobar on second in the seventh inning. Perhaps it was in mourning for Kevin Youkilis (spelled “Youklis” whoever wrote up the White Sox’s lineup card) or for the Red Sox, who had just fallen behind by two more runs thanks to Jose Bautista’s line drive two-run shot into the Monster seats.
At least one person was happy.
Make that two.
