| April 8, 2008 Sox get rings, hang donut on Tigers
|
(NECN) - Daisuke Matsuzaka, Manny Delcarmen and Hideki Okajima combined on a five-hitter, and the Boston Red Sox pounded out 12 hits en route to a 5-0 Fenway opening day shutout of the stumbling Detroit Tigers.
The Red Sox picked up the win after raising the 2007 World Championship banner and an emotional first pitch from former Sox star Bill Buckner, who got a chance to exorcise the ghosts of his infamous 1986 World Series error. Buckner wiped away tears on the way to the mound, and again in the post-pitch news conference.
Meanwhile, Sox pitchers wiped out the Tigers, whose expected high-powered offense has yet to materialize. More on the game all night long on NECN, on Sports Late Night at 11, and on NECN's new blog, The Score.
