Dustin Pedroia is continuing to work his way back to what he hopes will be a return to the Red Sox for Tuesday’s home opener at Fenway Park.
Pedroia played nine innings and started at second base for the Single A Greenfield Drive Thursday. He had a single in the fourth inning, a double in the eighth, and finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a walk. He also turned a 6-4-3 double play in the fifth.
The game was played in front of 7,551 fans, a record for the largest crowd to watch a baseball game at Fluor Field in Greenville, S.
