You may have noticed that Manny got hit by a pitch in the 1st inning of the 1st game, and then was pinch hit for in the 4th.
According to manager Terry Francona, the cold weather made Ramirez's leg tighten up so it made sense to give him some time off. Probably why he was not in the initial lineup for the late game.
