Lester still on schedule »
April 23, 2007
Red Sox rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia was sitting in the dugout this afternoon with a little more confidence. He just finished taking an early session of batting practice and it was clear his recent slump is behind him due to his two-hit night on Sunday.
More importantly, it was his glove that proved crucial as he made a tremendous two-out diving grab late in the game with runners in scoring position.
“That play he made defensively was more important than any hit he got last night,” said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. “Fortunately, he understands that. It was also nice to see him get hits because you want to see guys have success, for sure. Hopefully now he takes that and runs with it.”
His double in the second inning Sunday night snapped an 0-for-13 skid.
