#5 for Varitek

The 2009 season hasn’t even started yet, and Jason Varitek has already hit 5 homers. During the sixth inning vs. the NY Mets, Dillon Gee pitched the perfect pitch to Tek. The home run came after Red Sox pitcher, Ramon Ramirez gave up a run in the bottom of the fifth inning to put the Mets on the board. Before that, the Sox were leading 7-0. All of Varitek’s homeruns have come from left handed pitchers. Today’s homer brought his RBI total to 16 during Sprint Training.

During the first inning, Jed Lowrie hit a grand slam after Oliver Perez walked four to make it 6-0. Rocco Baldelli had opened the game with a single to the left and scored on a walk to Kevin Youkillis. Dustin Pedroia scored courtesy of Jason Bay.

Today was the last exhibition game for the Red Sox before the season opener vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.
