BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia was back for the start of his 13th season with the Red Sox on Saturday, and the Fenway faithful gave him a warm welcome with a loud, standing ovation in his first at-bat.
With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the first, Pedroia flew out to right. The veteran walked during his next at-bat in the third and later scored.
PHILADELPHIA -- Russell Martin is making his 1,462nd Major League start on Saturday. For the first time in his career, he was penciled into the lineup as a team's starting shortstop.
