Martinez Dominates Rays on Freezing Night at Fenway
Pedro Martinez shut down Tampa Bay with seven innings of two-hit ball in a 6-0 Red Sox win at Fenway Park. Temperatures dipped to 31 degrees with a wind chill of 21 as Boston extended its lead to 6-1 against the Rays this season. Al Martin said Martinez’s framing kept Rays batters off balance, while Jason Varitek credited the ace’s consistency despite one bad outing earlier in the week.
