Red Sox-Devil Rays (July 26, 2005)

Yesterday was a vacation day for TheBostonInsider and it turned out that many of the Red Sox took the day off as well. Bad base running and leaving runners in scoring position were the cause for the Sox loss last night -- wasting a solid effort by David Wells. Matt Clement (10-3, 4.30) goes tonight against Mark Hendrickson (4-7, 6.82) on NESN and WEEI starting at 7:15 p.m. The Red Sox will have a new option out of the bullpen tonight as Manny DelCarmen of Hyde Park and West Roxbury High School will be placed on the roster. Hopefully he can help sort out the problems in the 'pen. (Thoughts from Monday's game ... did not really watch the Red Sox game ... instead, I was at the Playwright in South Boston watching Milton, Mass. native Rich Hill make his first major league start versus the San Francisco Giants ... Rico pitched very well and got a no-decision in a 3-2 Cubs win ... his curveball was nasty -- as was his base running ... Rich's next start is Saturday at Wrigley)
