The Red Sox came into the series 1-1, but to win this one they would need to beat Felix Hernandez who came into the game with a 6-0 record. The Sox had Rick Porcello on the mound who has made his case to be the ace of the Sox rotation. Porcello had himself a strong outing and the Sox offense was able to get to King Felix in order to get the win and the series lead.
Rick Porcello took the mound and didn’t make it out of the 1st inning without giving up a run. Porcello gave up a solo homerun to Brad Miller.
