Here are photos from a very cold game last night against the Pirates. Our new starter, Chris Sale, was lights out in his Red Sox and Fenway Park debut, striking out 7 hitters. But this was a pitcher’s duel all the way, and the game remained 0-0 through 12 innings. That’s when catcher Sandy Leon came through with a walk-off three run home run to end the game.
A good ending to an otherwise cold and rather uneventful game!
