*Today's Red Sox game against the Orioles was called in the top of the seventh due to inclement weather. Boston won 7-4.
*Red Sox reliever Manny Delcarmen was taken out of the game with two outs in the top of the seventh inning yesterday after he tweaked his right knee. He said he felt a sharp pain after making a throw to second base, but the sensation quickly went away and he’s fine.
The right-hander admitted, however, that he has tendinitis in right knee, something he said he’s had since last season, and every once in a while it flares up.
It began to rain at City of Palms Park in the sixth inning and it picked up in the seventh. Delcarmen made a fine defensive play on a chopper back to the mound, and assisted on the out at second base. After the play, Francona sprinted to the mound followed by head trainer Paul Lessard to check on the reliever, who has been very impressive this spring.
As Delcarmen left the field and Craig Breslow came in from the bullpen, Francona signaled to the grounds crew, calling for some Quick Dry. At that point the tarp was placed over the field and a few minutes later the game was called.
