Alas, one other collection loss. The sport began off on a low be aware, as Buehler gave up 2 runs within the backside of the primary, however the Sox gained a run again and it appeared like there was nonetheless a shot at successful. That’s, till Hunter Brown locked in after which Walker Buehler, after settling in effectively, gave up one other 2 runs. Apart from that, there wasn’t an excessive amount of to say. Alex Cora obtained himself ejected for causes that I’m not completely positive of, nevertheless it didn’t fireplace up the fellas to get extra runs.
Ceddane Rafaela: Obtained the Sox their solely run at present with an RBI single.
Steven Matz/Greg Weissert: Didn’t hand over any runs of their aid appearances.
The protection: No errors, which is a optimistic improvement after a 3-error recreation yesterday.
Two Duds, however they have been Huge:
The Offense (REALLY Huge Dud): Solely scoring one run often gained’t win you video games. There have been a number of RISP probabilities that have been squandered as effectively. Hunter Brown is nice and all, however he wasn’t on his A-Recreation tonight and the Sox ought to’ve been in a position to take significantly better benefit.
Walker Buehler (Smaller Dud): I can’t fault him too a lot as a result of he did give the Sox an opportunity to win, however a line that wasn’t ideally suited: 6 IP, 4 hits, 4 runs (all earned), 4 walks (yuck), and three strikeouts.
Play of the Recreation: [ERROR 404: Play of the Game not Found]
Nothing was excellent sufficient to warrant Play of the Recreation, on both aspect, if I’m being trustworthy. A two-run go-ahead homer to ice the sport is one thing, however the Astros did it, and it was solely a two-run residence run, and they’d’ve gained with out that residence run anyway. No matter.
