It was a crappy Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox's woes started before the game even began.
Mookie Betts was removed from the original lineup because of "tightness" in his left side. Then Chris Sale did not make it out of the fifth inning (4.1-5-6-3-8, 91). When Sale was pulled, the Red Sox not only trailed 6-0, but they did not even have a hit yet.
Tyler Flowers's second home run of the year gave Atlanta a 3-0 lead in the second after Sale had allowed a walk and a single. Sale also gave up a walk and a single to start the fifth.
