The Red Sox had a second consecutive really rough game down in Fort Myers. The results of these games obviously don’t matter, but at the same time we’d rather have good results than bad if for no other reason than it’s more fun to watch and talk about good baseball than bad baseball. The main story here was Dustin Pedroia’s return to the diamond, and that went well. Other than that, there were some good swings from the regulars, but the pitching was rough.
Pedroia getting back into the action was what everyone was watching for on Thursday, though the Red Sox didn’t keep him in the game very long.
