The Red Sox played a split-quad game in McKechnie Field in Bradenton, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The field has been around since 1923, so all the Red Sox greats from that era forward have played at the field. David Price made his last start of the Spring. Six roster members were in today’s lineup.
The Red Sox started out fast in the top of the first. Mookie Betts doubled to left field. Josh Rutledge, playing second base today, beat out an infield hit to send Betts to third. Chris Young followed with a ground out to put Boston on the board, 1-0, sending Rutledge to second.
