'It's the pitching, stupid!' If
James Carville were a sports writer, that would be his observation on the 2016 Red Sox. Powered by the most potent offense in baseball, it's the

The Carmine Hose this season—despite a recent great run of starting pitching. This time, both starter
Eduardo Rodriguez and reliever
Matt Barnes were the culprits—opening the floodgates for an 8-run 6th inning. The eventual
10-4 loss dropped Boston 2 games back of the lead in the AL East. The one highlight of the night was
David Ortiz's 31st HR of the year.
