Projo SoxTalk with McAdam: Sports responds to tragedy »
August 2, 2007
Jeremy Guthrie is the starting pitcher for Baltimore this afternoon.
But about 2 1/2 hours before the first pitch, the Orioles' right-hander was wandering the streets around Fenway Park, walking into the Game On restaurant.
He was unrecognized as he sauntered into the restaurant, but if he were pitching for Boston the way he has for the Orioles, Guthrie would have been mobbed. Guthrie, a solid candidate for rookie-of-the-year honors, is 7-3 with a 2.89 earned-run average in 17 starts.
Included in Guthrie's outings was an appearance at Fenway on Mother's Day. Guthrie worked 8 1/3 scoreless innings and the Orioles had a 5-0 lead before he was surprisingly lifted by then-manager Sam Perlozzo, whereupon the Red Sox mounted their only stirring comeback of the season in winning the game, 6-5.
