In most portions of the known universe, if your score seven runs with
David Price on the mound, you should win. Apparently, Fenway Park is in an alternate universe. Ahead 3-0 early, Price coughed up five earned runs—three on a 'big fly' by
Mark Trumbo. After much back-and-forth, the teams were tied at six each entering the ninth. Our new "lock-down" closer
Craig Kimbrel was anything but—missing the strike zone badly until yielding a monster three-run blast to
Chris Davis. A valiant come-back in the bottom of the inning (including a solo HR by
Mookie Betts—who was 3-5 with two RBIs) fell two runs short,
9-7. So, now we are again faced with a .500 ballclub. What else is new?
