Buck, Big Papi Too Much for Astros

Clay Buchholz pitched 7+ innings of 2-run ball. David Ortiz added 3 more hits to his return, including a homer to center field. And for good measure Daniel Bard pitched a scoreless 9th. The Red Sox win another first game of a series, beating the new AL Houston Astros 7-2. Buck had 10 K's & was in control the whole way. The game was over when the Sox scored 4 times in the 1st inning. At least for the month of April it looks like the stock in Red Sox performance has outperformed market expectations of baseball writers & sportscasters.
