One of Boston's strengths this year, its bullpen, abandoned the team on Friday night. Ahead 3-0 in the eighth, a series of relievers choked away the game and the team's win streak. Let's name names, shall we? Thanks to
Addison Reed (0 IP, 4 runs) and
Joe Kelly (0.2 IP, 1 run) we are now just 3.5 games up on
The Evil Ones.
Period. The meltdown wasted HRs by
Hanley Ramirez and
Andrew Benintendi and some 9th-inning heroics (which we won't discuss,
Eduardo Nunez). Another fine 6-inning pitching performance by
Eduardo Rodriguez was also wasted.
Bad loss. No Biscuit.
