The Palms had the Red Sox down late in the game. In fact, with one out left in the top of the 9th and a 1 run lead, Francisco Rodriguez was looking to secure a save. He had already walked Dustin Pedroia, but it was David Ortiz who finished the job, hitting the game winning home run. Koji Uehara was much more effective for the Red Sox.  Boston Red Sox 5, Miami Palms 4  Sunday, May 31, 2015  Boston Red Sox (6-7)                                     Miami Palms (27-23)                                      Player          AB R  H BI BB SO  P  A  E LOB...

John Danks and Wade Miley pitched 5 scoreless inning, but the last 4 frames were an adventure.
