I don’t have many words for this Red Sox team already, so we’re gonna keep it short.

Studs

No one? Is it that bad I don’t have just about anything good to say about this game?

Duds

Where do I even begin with duds for this game. Willson Contreras with a golden sombrero, including getting wrung up then losing an ABS challenge to end a frame. Duran and Durban both with 0-fers at the top of the lineup. Connelly Early not having any real smooth inning, then the bullpen not saving his skin in the least bit. Letting Dustin May look like a superstar on the bump. This was a rough one.

Play of the Game

The only real positive of the game was this bit of base-running to bring home a run.
