The final emotion to surge through Fenway Park on Tuesday night was happiness, but fans (both in and outside the park) waded through a lot of frustration and anger before getting to that positive. And lurking behind that joy was the grim reality of a faltering bullpen.
After Matt Barnes and Heath Hembree flushed a 4-1 lead, the Red Sox rallied to take a 7-6 lead, with Jackie Bradley's two-out single tying the game and a wild pitch over Mookie Betts's head giving Boston a 7-6 lead.
But Craig Kimbrel walked two batters on the way to (I hate to say predictably, but that's certainly how it felt) blowing the save.
