The appreciation continues here for Pedro Martinez. The former Boston ace has yet to throw a pitch and he’s already received a pair of standing ovations, when he walked out to, and back from the bullpen. As he crossed second base on his way back to the dugout, Martinez acknowledged the cheers by raising his glove in the air.

  • UMass head lacrosse coach Greg Cannella threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Cannella, of course, led the Minutemen to the NCAA lacrosse championship game last month, a game which they lost to Virginia.
  • Boston rock veteran Juliana Hatfield sang the National Anthem.
