Schilling Rebounds Nicely
Despite the dreary weather throughout the country, it was a busy Easter Sunday for MLB with 14 games in the books. Surprisingly, only the double header scheduled in Cleveland was snowed out.
Big Papi busted out of a mini-slump and went yard twice to lift Curt Schilling and the Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Rangers. Ortiz was struggling with only two hits in 18 at bats going into the game.
The 40-year-old Schilling looked like he still has something left in the tank. Despite giving up eight hits and four earned runs in four innings in his season debut last week, he did strike out five in that game. On Sunday afternoon, he only allowed four hits, one run (a Catalanotto solo shot) and one walk in seven innings pitched, while striking out six. Jonathan Papelbon got the save for Boston, his second of this young season.
Dodgers Luis Gonzalez tagged two homeruns of his own as L.A. defeated San Francsco in a 10-4 rout.
