"The Red Sox offense got the better of Andrew Abbott but couldn't push a run across the plate until the 7th inning. 10 men left on base feels like the boys are picking right back up where they were last year - lots of bark, no bite to get multiple runs."
"Thankfully, squeaking one out with a Ceddanne Rafalea RBI single in the 7th seemed to bring the game itself back to life, and then pouring on hits and walks in the 9th gave myself and hopefully everyone a little sigh of relief with insurance runs driven in by Trevor Story and Jarren Duran."
"After a rocky final start in Spring Training, the Pig showed everyone why it's all just practice until the games count. Starting off with a four pitch first inning, he was a dominant force in Cincinnati on Thursday afternoon."
"Today might be the day I realized how pivotal the ABS system is going to be to the success of baseball."
The Red Sox defeated the Reds 3-0 in Cincinnati, with a slow start offensively until the 7th inning. Ceddanne Rafalea's RBI single ignited the team, followed by additional runs in the 9th from Trevor Story and Jarren Duran. The pitching staff, led by Crochet, was effective, allowing only two baserunners in the last three innings. Roman, the youngest Red Sox player with multiple hits on Opening Day, and Marcelo contributed significantly despite not starting. The ABS system's impact on the game was also noted.
