Pawtucket (Red Sox AAA) @ Buffalo

Bad first for Niese, run on a hit and 2 walks, has 2 Ks. 34:20:14, 1:0:2

Fernando DHing, 1 for 1 with a double.

Niese back in trouble in the 2nd, given up 2 hits, a run and a walk, 2 down in the inning. 54 pitches through 1.2 innings.

2 run single. 4 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks in 1.2 innings. Blech.

Another run scoring hit. 5 runs on 5 hits now. Yeesh.

Niese puts the 2nd inning to bed. His line is horrific through 2: 2 ip, 5 h, 5 er, 3/2 bb/k, 22.50 era, 62:35:27, 1:3:2

BTW - here's your lineup:

Malo 2b
Coronado SS
Martinez DH
Evans 1B
Kielty RF
Feliciano LF
Santos C
Sullivan CF
Mackowiak 3B

Niese done. Kyle Synder in. Pitches a perfect 3rd.

Coronado walks in the 3rd, Fernando 1 for 2. 5-0 Sawx after 3.

Synder scoreless 4th, still 5-0 Sawx thru 3.5.

Evans is 0 for 2 with a K. Remember, he was slumping at the end of spring training...OK - I'm done for now. We might live blog the night games, IF people want us to, tell us via comment or chat box...
