Mirabelli pulled from game

Red Sox catcher Doug Mirabelli, who was limping noticeably after rounding third base and heading home while scoring one of Boston's six runs in the bottom of the first inning, has been pulled from the game and replaced by Jason Varitek. Because of today's doubleheader, manager Terry Francona said this morning he would spilt the battery duties between the two catchers. Mirabelli was running hard until he reached third, but then began limping as soon as he turned the bag. There's no word on the extent of Mirabelli's injured.
