Once again, a Red Sox starter pitched just bad enough to lose.
Eduardo Rodriguez—under pressure to perform from
Dave Dombrowski—delivered six innings of three-run ball last night in
another frustrating 8-6 loss. E-Rod seemed more in control, with good velocity on his fastball, but failed to hold a 4-2 lead.
Koji Uehara later yielded another lead—giving up two HRs in a terrible outing. The offense came alive with 13 hits—including another three-hit/three RBI effort by
Xander Bogaerts (now hitting .351).
Mookie Betts,
Dustin Pedroia and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. also had multiple-hit games—but it was not enough to beat this sub-par Chicago White Sox team.
