Yankees Avoid Sweep, But Red Sox Win Series

Teams	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	Runs	Hits	Errors
Red Sox	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	1	2	9	0
Yankees	0	2	1	0	0	0	1	0	X	4	8	0

Red Sox highlight: Nine hits
Red Sox lowlight: Five men left on base
Yankees highlight: Two homeruns
Yankees lowlight: Five men left on base

My Comment: No sweep, but Boston has started well this season with thirty-five hits over three games for an average of 11.66 hits per game and seventeen runs for an average of 5.66 runs per game. As John Farrell returns to Toronto for the first time since becoming Boston's manager, let's hope the Red Sox do him proud and play as well against the Blue Jays as they did against the Yankees. Or should I say "play even better"?

BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Ryan Dempster; Losing Pitcher: Ryan Dempster (1)
YANKEES: Starting Pitcher: Andy Pettitte; Winning Pitcher: Andy Pettitte
YANKEES: Save: Mariano Rivera
YANKEES: Homeruns: Brett Gardner, Francisco Cervelli

My Comment: Welcome to the 2013 season of Major League Baseball and the rebounding season for the Boston Red Sox. For the first time in two years, the Red Sox have won their season opener and happily it was a victory against the New York Yankees. This will be a winning year for Boston and I am looking forward to writing more postive comments than I did in 2012. Great job guys! Take a break and come back on Wednesday and do it even better. The 2013 show has begun!
