It was 'dinner at
Chi Chi's'—and the chips weren't free. Young Ranger right-hander
Chi Chi Gonzalez shut down the Red Sox offense last night—on the way to
an 8-0 victory in his Major League debut. For Boston, it was just another crushing loss on the road—with the starting pitcher (
Wade Miley this time) giving up five earned runs in just four innings of work.
David Ortiz broke up the kid's no-hitter in the sixth. Said Gonzalez,
"He gave me a little clap, head nod, which was awesome. Just giving me respect, which I didn't think -- I'm a new guy, a rookie. It was awesome." All in all, this procession of mediocrity is getting old—
fast.
