With two exciting wins (featuring a total of six late-inning runs) at their backs, the Red Sox did an about-face on Saturday afternoon, playing an extremely sloppy game and dropping their record to 5-10.
They handed out eight walks, including five from Rick Porcello (4-6-3-5-2, 90). They made two errors, and had several other balls go under/off gloves, or be bobbled or bounce away. They also tossed two wild pitches and had a caught stealing. And Chris Davis ended his record streak of futility at 54 at-bats on Boston's watch, hitting two doubles and a single and driving in four runs.
