Although Osceola County Stadium was a new site for the Boston Red Sox this pre-season, unfortunately the first visit was not an enjoyable one for the Red Sox. They were shutout by the Houston Astros. The hitting prowess displayed yesterday was definitely absent today. However, that is nothing new - Boston regularly has a dramatic hitting falloff the day after the team amasses a great number of hits. I have no explanation for why this consistently happens, but it is a Red Sox reality. The one bright note today was Jon Lester's pitching, as he only gave up one run in the four innings he pitched. Another Red Sox squad plays later today - perhaps they will have a wining outcome.
