Red Sox Scores: April 5, 2017

Game No. 002

Chris Sale made his Red Sox debut on a chilly Wednesday night, dazzling fans with a seven-inning shutout performance, striking out seven, and giving up only three hits.

For every Red Sox game this season, @Amy Parker and I will be visualizing the final score. Our ground rules: scores must be posted before the first pitch of the next game and must represent the final score. New for this year: home games will be on a white background, away games on black, and the Red Sox will always be red.
