The Red Sox struck first, scoring four runs in the third inning. When San Diego responded with back-to-back three-run innings, the Red Sox bats came to life once again, tying it up in the seventh. The Padres finished strong and made the Red Sox the losers of all three of their season series to start the year.
Vibes are low among Red Sox fans after falling to 2-7 on the season, but legendary Boston personality Tom Caron used this football analogy to put it in perspective. In terms of a football season, the Red Sox are 0-1. The Major League Baseball season is 162 games.
They play 17 in the NFL. With the Red Sox finishing up game number nine, they are about 1/17th of the way through their season. As Caron said, in this analogy, the Red Sox are 0-1.
