At least not for the Sox this season. They are 5-12 in day games this season, which is the second worst day game record in the league. Their night game record is 32-16. Both their offense (.268 average in day games, .279 at night) and their pitching (5.26 ERA in day games, 4.05 ERA in night games) take a hit before the evening hours. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
Today's game was no exception to the trend of dreary daytime play. After back-to-back blowouts of the Phils, the Sox bats were owned by Cole Hamels. Hamels held the Sox to one run, an Adrian Beltre dinger in the second. They wouldn't score again until the 9th off J.C. Romero, but it wasn't enough to answer the 5 runs the Phillies put up. Wake allowed 4 of those runs in the 4th inning of an otherwise solid start. RamRam allowed them to tack on the 5th run in the top of the 9th inning.
The silver lining of this game was the 3-hit game for Pedey, the 9th big fly of the season for Beltre, and the 2 hits and 1 RBI by Nava in his second major-league game. The Sox get a day off tomorrow and face the Diamondbacks (and JD's kid brother) on Tuesday.
The C's won the crucial Game 5 tonight and go back to LA with a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 on Tuesday. Beat LA!!!!
LET'S GO RED SOX!!!!!
