TEAM RISP- Red Sox: 3 for 9 Rangers: 2 for 8
Manny Ramirez rocketed 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Boston Red Sox defeated
the Texas Rangers 9 to 3 at Ameriquest Field.
Ramirez was in a groove all evening. The Texas fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box. He cracked a solo homerun in the 2nd inning,
cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 3rd inning, laced a
base-knock in the 5th inning and lofted a three-run bomb in the 9th inning.
Texas was out-hit by Boston, 12 hits to 5.
The victory went to Tim Wakefield(1-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs.
Vicente Padilla(0-1) was hit with the loss. He served up 3 gopher balls in 4
and 1/3 innings.
'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Ramirez said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting
you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'
