Two for Sundays?

After defeating Seattle Friday and a postponed game for Saturday - the Red Sox played a double header. Behind Millar's 3 RBI's, Gonzalez pitched the first of two games and recorded his first win. He went 5.2 innings giving up 4 hits, 2 walks and 2 earned runs (3 total), while recording 6 strike outs. Mantei, Myers, and Timlin all also chipped in before Foulke finished it off.

In the second of the two games Wade Miller made his first appearance for the Red Sox. Miller went 5 innings striking out six while giving up 3 hits and 1 walk resulting in 2 earned runs.
Boston battled bringing the score to 2-2 by the 6th inning before the bullpen once again had their "fun". Seattle scored 4 runs in the 7th inning off of Halama and Meredith. Halama gave up 3 hits, one walk, and one run in 1.2 innings, and was given the loss.

Meredith made his first apperance with the Sox, overall in 48 MLB innings, Meredith has allowed only 32 hits and one home run, yielded only 11 walks while striking out 48. Unfortunatly 2 of those hits and 2 walks and the single home run came in today's game causing his ERA to be 81.00, a number I would take as an acceptable grade for my Chemistry final.
The only positive thing to say about the bullpen's performance was that in two innings, Alan Embree did NOT give up a home run or any runs for that fact!

Before this loss, the Red Sox had won 5 in a row. Things are looking pretty good given the fact that both Schilling and Wells are on the DL - in fact, we are performing better without them.

And with that... all I have to say is:

GO SOX!
