The Red Sox nabbed their first win of the 2014 campaign on Wednesday night. John Lackey picked up where he left off last season, and tossed 6 innings of 3 hit, 2 run ball. Mike Napoli and David Ortiz proved to be the games offensive standouts, each collecting 2 run home runs. Boston also unveiled the semi new-look back end of the bullpen, as Edward Mujica, Junichi Tazawa, and Koji Uehara combined to toss 3 shutout innings en route to the teams 6-2 victory.
