From the New York Times:
Rodriguez waited 131 minutes for his chance at Jonathan Papelbon, the fearsome closer for the Boston Red Sox. Last June, he had beaten Papelbon with a homer here in the ninth inning. Now he would bat with two on, two out and his team trailing by a run in the eighth.
The chance lasted just three pitches: fastball, splitter, fastball, inning over. Papelbon fanned Rodriguez and struck out two in a scoreless ninth as the Red Sox prevailed, 4-3, behind a homer and three runs batted in from Manny Ramirez.
Papelbon. Youch. And Manny being Manny. See ya Sunday...
