Fans of the Boston Red Sox who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Boston win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles, 4-2. Shawn Estes started for the home team against Mat Latos. Mat Latos earned the coveted player of the game honors. Pedro J Martinez picked up the save, his 1st.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from designated hitter Johnny Rizzo. For the game, Rizzo went 1 for 4 with a home run. In the bottom of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Boston a 3-2 lead.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Rizzo said after the game.
