Last night was a night that Julian Tavarez and the Red Sox would like to forget. The bats went limp again as they could only manage 5 hits after pounding out 21 the night before. Tonight’s task will be no small mountain to climb over as Jeremy Bonderman and his 9-1 record take the hill against Curt Schilling’s replacement, Kason Gabbard.
Let’s take a look at what the Boston area and Detroit media had to say about last night’s game and other happenings.
