The Red Sox don’t need any help losing baseball games right now, as they can do plenty well at that on their own with the way they are playing. The umpire still helped them out on Wednesday though, blowing an easy ball four call that would have led to a run, instead calling it a strike to end the inning. Kevin Plawecki and co. were, uh, not happy. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)
There was some good news from Wednesday night’s game in Atlanta, including Trevor Story finally getting on the board with his first home run of the season, and first in a Red Sox uniform.
