What would Pedroia's career stats look like without late injuries?
When the Red Sox were finishing out their road trip in L.A. earlier in the week, they very much looked like a team who was ready to be home. Its not really a bad thing; its human nature, I suppose. But Fenway was sure to be a welcome sight when they got back. And boy, was it. The Red Sox played 11 runs on Friday night to kick off their series against the Phillies. Boston got a homer each from Kik Hernndez, Rafael Devers, and J.D. Martinez, and they were all over Phillies pitching. Garrett Richards was again shaky to start before settling down, and it was enough for another win.
