The Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate in Worcester took on the Buffalo Bisons who are the affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays and they only ended up playing five games due to a nor’easter that hit the East Coast and the Red Sox won one of those games. Their Double-A affiliate started their season and took on the Colorado Rockies Double-A affiliate the Hartford Yard Goats, and due to that same storm, they only played one game and lost that one game 1-0. The High-A affiliate the Greenville Drive took on the Greensboro Grasshoppers dropping two of their three games. Finally, their Single-A affiliate the Salem Red Sox took on the Carolina Mudcats and dropped all three games.
