Daniel Bard set the tone for last night's loss in the very first inning. By allowing four runs (on just two hits), he put the Red Sox in a deep hole they just could not dig their way out of—despite a valiant effort. Home runs by Adrian Gonzalez (one day late), Cody Ross (his 8th) and Mike Aviles (his 6th) kept Boston close to Philly ace Cole Hamels.
But Franklin Morales let in the sixth Philly run in the eighth inning, and that was all she (Jonathan Papelbon, 12th save) wrote. Oh, and to add icing on this Philly CheeseCake, Bobby V. got tossed (see pic). So, the
Sox lose the first of the Moronic Interleague Festival (heretofore the MIF), 6-4.
