The Red Sox had a very strange Friday in which they designated Hanley Ramirez for assignment. Both their manager and the head of their front office had long meetings with the media, and that entire affair overshadowed that they were about to start a big series against one of the best teams in the National League. Well, Hanley or no Hanley the game was played, and the Red Sox did their job. They got a good start from Eduardo Rodriguez that did include some of his typical frustrations, and four home runs from the offense was more than enough to give them a win to start this series and continue a recent hot stretch for this club.
