On Thursday, August 12, 2004, the Red Sox shutout the Devil Rays 6-0.
The Right Arm of God pitched a complete game with 10 strikeouts, allowing six hits and zero walks. The Pro had two doubles, a single, a walk, and scored two runs. Approximately two months away from going through (and creating) some crazy shit, Flo went 3-for-5 and drove in two runs.
Also on that day, Diego Hernández as born in Pueblo, Mexico.
Hernández, now 18 but still one year younger than this blog, was traded today by the Yankees to the Red Sox, only the seventh time in the last 55 years that the two long-time rivals have swapped players.
