Bello pitched really well despite a problem with a bleeding blister or fingernail. He went five innings and gave up only one earned run. When he left the game, the Red Sox were up 5-1.
Then the bullpen imploded and gave up five earned runs over four innings. At the end of nine innings, the score was tied 6-6.
In the top of the tenth inning, the Guardians took a one run lead but the Red Sox came back in the bottom of the tenth with two runs to win the game 8-7.
As for today, Sale had a great outing, going six and a third innings, giving up only one earned run. When he left the game in the seventh inning, the Red Sox were up 4-1.
Schreiber came out to finish off the seventh inning. He was followed by Blier and Bernardino to finish off the game. It ended with the Red Sox winning 7-1 taking the series against the Guardians.
And I'm going to say that the trade of Mookie Betts to the Dodgers for Jeter Downs, Connor Wong and Alex Verdugo prior to the start of the 2020 season is looking a real win for the Red Sox.
Downs was DFA'd last December and is now playing for the Washington National but Wong and Verdugo are playing great baseball for the Red Sox. Their defense and their offense has been awsome.
Comparing Verdugo to Betts shows that Verdugo leads in every category except home runs and he only lags by one. He has more hits, a better batting average and a better on base percentage.
The Bruins and Panthers face off in game seven of their best-of-seven playoff series. This is the win-or-go-on-vacation game where the winner will move on to round two and the loser will go on vacation.
Puck drops at 6:30 and hopefully the Bruins win. I would like to see them score early and often. Three of four goals in the first period will take the wind out of the Panthers sails.
I will be enjoying baked sole for my pre-hockey-viewing meal.
