Over the last two days, the Red Sox have had nice wins thanks to their over-achieving starters. On Monday, Alfredo Aceves pitched against his former team giving up one earned run. The Yankees wouldn't score anymore even after he left to give the Red Sox the victory, 1-2. The score was the same on today vs. the Tigers. Today Dice-K pitched 5 masterful inning giving up 2 hits and no earned runs. This is much better than a previous start where he gave up 5 earned runs.
Ellsbury has been hot lately this spring hitting over .400 . He hit a nice homer a few days ago going 3-3. He also hit another homer in today's game, putting the Red Sox on the scoreboard. Many believe his success is due to the fact he misses baseball after his season ending injury last year and he is really excited about playing for the first time in quite a while.
