Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz looked sharp in a Grapefruit League spring training game yesterday.
Buchholz gave up only one run and four hits in five innings in a win against the Tampa Bay Rays at Charlotte Sports Park, the Rays spring training field in Port Charlotte, Florida. Final score: Red Sox 8, Rays 4. Rays star Evan Longoria homered against Buchholz in the second inning.
The Sox and their fans are looking for a bounce-back year after the September 2011 debacle.
Most the Sox supporting cast in yesterday's game consisted of players from the minor league roster; only a few actual starters made the trip from Ft. Myers.
One notable first-teamer did show up for the game, however--new NESN Red Sox reporter Jenny Dell, who replaced Heidi Watney.

A fan greets Dell as she leaves the venue (spring training is apparently the only time when NESN staff can clock out early).
if jenny dell is going to dress like that and wear high heels like that to games then holy crap i'm going to be one happy person.
