Starting Pitchers
Curt Schilling (1-2)
Sidney Ponson (0-2)

"Boston able to pick up quick sweep on the road!!!!!!"
Sidney Ponson came into this game without a win a needed a win to show his team that he is good enough to be a starting pitcher. He had high hopes when the Orioles scored the first run of the game off a sacrifice fly in the 4th giving the Orioles the first lead of the game. Unfortunately that would be their only lead. In the top of the 5th Mark Bellhorn hit a solo homer to tie the game. The Red Sox kept piling on then with a run in the 7th and 8th and 3 runs in the 9th. The Orioles had a runner on third with two outs in the 9th but the game ended on a groundout. After this game it is likely Sidney Ponson will become a reliever and someone will fill his spot. Reports say it will be John Parrish or newly promoted John Maine.
