The Boston Red Sox continued to display some quality pitching and questionable offense in a 5-1 win against the Orioles at Sarasota as both teams combined for a pathetic LOB/RISP extravaganza. The Red Sox left 1o on base and went 3-18 in RISP. The O’s “won” the LOB contest with 13 and went 1-13 in RISP.
Two items of note were the first appearance of the season by Christian Vazquez and a start by Roenis Elias who may be in the mix for a rotation slot with the ongoing physical concerns over Eduardo Rodriguez.
