I'd like to blame the pitching but I can't. Yes, the kid from Worcester, Bello, got smoked, giving up six hits with four earned runs over four innings and the bullpen didn't do much better. But that wasn't the only problem.
The batters got six hits over nine innings, resulting in only one run.
The only thing that wins baseball games is stepping on home plate more often than your opponent and the Red Sox failed to do that.
Tonight starts a four-game series against the Yankees. I will be happy if they win one and ecstatic if they win two.
An speaking of Worcester, Chris Sale made a rehab start for the Worcester Red Sox against the Scranton RailRiders last night and while Sale wasn't overjoyed with his performance, I thought he did pretty well.
He went 3⅔ innings, giving up three hits and one earned run which is pretty good for his first almost-major league outing since last year.
No definitive news on when he will return to the Red Sox rotation but rumors abound that if he remains pain-free after his rehab start, he could be activated next week.
Tonight is leftovers and then baseball.
