This one was over almost as soon as it started.
Felix Doubront simply didn't have it in one of his most important starts of the year—against a Yankee team he has handcuffed historically. When he left the game after four,
The Evil Ones had put up seven runs—on the way to
a 10-3 drubbing. Boston could never generate a sustained offensive push—running the bases poorly and failing to get big hits in key situations. On top of all that, they made three bad errors
. The Fraudulent One was dutifully razzed and booed—but not into submission. Rodriguez went 2 for 4 and made two dazzling plays in the field. This one was forgettable, folks—except for the fact that Tampa Bay pulled off a dramatic comeback win to pull within a single game of the Carmine Hose for the AL East lead.
