Boston Red Sox

Caught off guard

Johnny Damon just reminded Fenway of the kind of grabs he can make in center when he robbed Alex Gonzalez of an RBI single, making a sliding catch to his right.

“You get what you pay…” muttered one writer on press row.

The Sox, with runners on second and third, did score, however, to cut New York’s lead to 4-3. Heading to the seventh.

As Eric Hinske made his way out to his position in between innings, he received a standing ovation from the fans out in right field.
