Timlin struggles in debut »
April 10, 2007
BOSTON -- When the Red Sox brass began dreaming about what kind of team they wanted in 2007, this is what they dreamed about.
They got great pitching (seven sterling innings from Josh Beckett, who gave up two hits and no walks and stuck out eight), explosive hitting up and down the lineup (three hits each from Jason Varitek and Kevin Youkilis, and three RBI each from Varitek and J.D. Drew) and airtight defense. It all added up to a 14-3 romp over the Mariners before the standard sellout crowd in the home opener at Fenway Park.
The Sox jumped out early, scoring four runs in the first inning and three in the second, and they never looked back. They were held without a run in only two innings, the sixth and the eighth.
Keep coming back, because we'll have more as the evening progresses . . . .
