You'd think they were facing
Stephen Strasburg or
Clayton Kershaw. Instead, the previously awesome Red sox offense could muster almost nothing against
Kyle Gibson—
who? For the second consecutive night,
Mookie Betts led off the game with a solo HR, but on Friday, 12 more runs did not follow. In fact, none did. Not until the ninth inning did
The Carmine Hose even threaten—when they loaded the bases with none out. With
David Ortiz coming to the plate, victory seemed inevitable. Wrong, rosin bag breath! Papi hit into a double play and
Hanley Ramirez lined out sharply to RF in
the 2-1 loss. Game. Set Match. Second place.
