Gonzalez Singles In First Spring Game, Sox Beat Marlins
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Adrian Gonzalez had a single and a sacrifice fly in his first game with the Boston Red Sox, who beat the Florida Marlins 9-2 on Saturday.
Gonzalez, who was acquired in a trade with San Diego in December, had been held back to rehab his surgically repaired right shoulder. The big first baseman quickly made up for lost time, picking up a hit in the first and driving in a run with a fly ball in the second.
WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Jonny Miller spoke with Gonzalez after the game.
