COMMENTARY
Digging too deep into a night like Monday at Fenway Park is a dangerous exercise. The Red Sox were trounced, 10-0. Rich Hill, who’s been everything you’d dream a 42-year-old starter could be this year, had nothing. (Full credit for that cover of the plate, though.) The offense produced five baserunners.
These nights happen to champions and also-rans alike. For whatever reason, I remember a similar game last August against Texas, the Sox on the fringe of the wild-card fight kicking the ball around against one of the worst teams in baseball.
