Mother Nature finally handed the Red Sox their first rain out of the 2010 MLB schedule.  Rain postponed the 2nd game of the 3-game series between the Red Sox and Mariners this week at Fenway Park.  The game will be made up as part of a day-night double-header today.  Tickets for the Tuesday night game [...]
