The Red Sox again look to complete a Sunday sweep when the face the Phillies this afternoon (1:05 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market) behind Eduardo Rodriguez.
E-Rod looks to atone for a rough time out in his last appearance, giving up five runs in five innings in an 8-0 loss to Hyun Jin Ryu and the Blue Jays. Notable, E-Rod will wear his “Barry Bonds earring” in a nod to his plate appearances today, which will further serve to press the case for a universal DH. Apparently the Red Sox otherwise have an anti-earring policy.
