PawSox Lead Red Wings, 2-0 after Two

The PawSox have the lead on the Rochester Red Wings, 2-0 after two innings at McCoy.

Clay Buchholz started the game for Pawtucket as part of his 30-day rehab stint with the club.

Buchholz led off the game by walking Chris Basak. He was helped out by catcher Dusty Brown who threw Basak out trying to steal second. Buchholz then settled down, getting Tommy Watkins to ground out to third and striking out Sergio Santos swinging.

In the second Buchholz got Brian Buscher to pop to short to start the inning. He then gave up a walk to Darnell McDonald. He finished the inning by forcing Garrett Jones to fly to tight and Randy Ruiz to pop up to the catcher.

Through two innings Buchholz has thrown 27 pitches, 13 for strikes. He reached 96 MPH on the Pawtucket radar gun.

The PawSox scored two runs in the bottom of the first on a two-run homer by Chris Carter, his sixth of the season. Carter entered the game on a hot streak, going 8 for his last 11.
