The Boston Red Sox travelled to Sarasota and Ed Smith Field to take on division rival Baltimore only to be decimated by a 20 hit attack that featured four home runs in a 16-8 beat down of Red Sox pitching.
Boston started burly 24-year-old right-hander Justin Haley. Haley, who? I remember seeing Haley in an NESN-TV game from Portland and a quick trip to the stats showed Haley finished 5-16 with a 5.15 ERA in 2015 for the 6th round 2012 pick. Why Haley? Scheduled starter Clay Buchholz remained in Fort Meyers to pitch a minor league game so Haley got the call.
