Ricky Nolasco and Mother Nature stopped the Red Sox from completing a three game sweep against the Marlins.
Nolasco allowed just one hit through the first five innings while Dan Uggla and Ronny Paulino both homered to beat Boston 2-1 in a rain shortened six inning game.
Kevin Youkilis had the only hit for Boston – a solo shot in the first – and Jon Lester dropped to 5-6 on the season with the loss.
Lester gave up two runs, both homers, eight hits, no walks and four strikeouts.
Goat of the Game – Weather
It’s tough to say how far Nolasco would have pitched but he was dealing last night.
Next Game – 6/19 vs. Atlanta Braves – Kenshin Kawakami/Daisuke Matsuzaka
Dice-K needs a solid outing here against the Braves.

I have a question perhaps someone could help with. What is the current status of Nick Hagadone? If he is pitching again can someone tell me where. I’ve surfed through the web sights and rosters of the Red Sox MiLB affiliates and haven’t been able to locate him.
Yes, Hagadone started pitching on June 6 for Grennville Drive in class A.
Here’s his stats through 3 starts:

They’re taking a very conservative approach with him this year with a limited his pitch count and IP. He may have a stint at Salem (A advanced) by the second half but I don’t see him pitching for Portland this season.
Thanks for the info.
Really frustrating game last night. You always have to think with this Sox team that if they get it to the second half of the game and only one run down that they’re going to be able to scrape together a few more runs and the bullpen will hold the line. I really hate rain-outs.
What a crapy way of losing a game…
I can’t wait for Japanese Media Extravaganza v. 2.0.
