It was pitchers duel day at the City of Palms Park. Hitters were effectively shutdown by Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates pitching through the fifth inning. However, it was a homerun in the sixth that was the breakthrough hit and allowed the Pirates to get on the board first. They would also score the last run of the game, but in between the Red Sox managed to score three runs and secure their win. Boston is now in second place in the Grapefruit League standings, behind the first place Tampa Bay Rays. For what seems like the umpteenth (actually fourth) time this pre-season, tomorrow Boston will play Minnesota. The Twins will be doing the hosting and the Red Sox, one hopes, will be doing the winning.
