Game Thread 07.02.2011: Red Sox (Miller, 1-0) @ Astros (Happ, 3-9)

Astros lineup is not up yet.

I don't know how much the Red Sox are paying Andrew Miller, but he's earned his keep so far.

I don't know if it's accurate, but I found this at cbssports.com.

P.S. Win or lose, I so want to see Andrew Miller do something offensively. Get a hit, drive one in with a sacrifice, bunt to advance a runner who eventually scores ... I'll take anything.

2ER in 6IP, left with a lead.

Miller takes his lunchpail to work and just does his job.

It's up to the bullpen to reward him with the W.

DMac doubles his RBI total for the season with a 3-run bomb.

9-3 Red Sox.

Didn't watch this one. Did Adrian Gonzalez do anything defensively in this game?
