Felix Doubront helps Boston Red Sox thrash Miami Marlins 10-2 – MLB Update
Boston Red Sox showed some top quality baseball skills to thrash Miami Marlins 10-2 at Marlins Park in Miami, FL on Wednesday, June 13 in the finale of their three match series of the 2012 Major League Baseball regular season.
Scott Podsednik had a great time on the plate as he grounded out to second in the third inning to give the Red Sox an early 1-0 lead.
David Ortiz showed just why he is a valuable asset for his team as he homered to left in the fourth inning to double Boston’s lead to 2-0.
Adrian Gonzalez and Podsednik combined to make a lovely play and Ortiz hit a sacrifice fly to centre in the sixth to put the Red Sox in a commanding 4-0 position.
Taking complete advantage of Marlins’ unforced errors on the field, Boston’s batters put up a huge total on the board. Dustin Pedroia and Jarrod Saltalamacchia also made useful contributions in the eighth inning.
Starting pitcher Felix Doubront earned his seventh win of the season. He retired 16 in a row, struck out nine and allowed just two runs in six plus innings.
The left hander will be hoping to give similar results throughout this season to earn a huge a pay check.
"Felix Dubront was outstanding," manager Bobby Valentine said. "He had all of his arsenal. He had an explosive fastball. He threw his curveball for strikes early and late. He had a good changeup and a cutter. Boy, that's good pitching."
"We need to score some runs," Ortiz said. "We've been a little short doing that. We needed that."
"I'm not going to make that guy throw 35 pitches for no reason," Marlins’ Manager Ozzie Guillen said.
Bobby Valentine and company will be very pleased with the way they have bounced back after getting hammered in series’ opener.
Showing great fighting skills and mental toughness, the Red Sox secured a narrow 2-1 in the second game to level series at 1-1.
Dominating their opponents in all aspects of the game, they cruised to a 10-2 win on Wednesday to improve their record to 31-32.
