BOSTON -- The clubhouse was as loud as it has been in some time. Get Low by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz was blaring. Duane Underwood Jr. wanted a ball after getting the save. Colin Holderman danced his way across the room, beverage in hand. The relievers jokingly groaned and heckled when the music had to be turned for interviews.
For a game that didn't even feel like the listed 41 degrees at first pitch and got colder from there, Fenway Park's visitor's clubhouse was hot.
In Derek Shelton's first three years managing the Pirates, they completed just one road sweep, taking place last May against the Dodgers.
