Somebody should tabulate the number of games lost by the Red Sox in which prodigious offensive production is squandered by crap pitching. Whatever that number is, last night was certainly one that qualified. After falling behind 4-0 (on a night when
Steven Wright's knuckleball was apparently humidity-challenged), they tied the score, actually went ahead, fell behind again, tied it again, then
lost, 9-8. Yikes. Along the way, both
David Ortiz and
Jackie Bradley, Jr. homered.
Mookie Betts also doubled twice and knocked in a run. But it just wasn't enough to overcome—Wright gave up 8 runs and
Robbie Ross, Jr. walked in the winning tally. Not good.
