So Rick Porcello, who has been NAILS all season, decides to channel (of all people), freaking John Wasdin in an ugly, UGLY 3rd Inning, which saw him chased before he could complete the 5th inning (4.1) and left him with an ERA of 10.38 (yes, TEN) for this year’s postseason.
The rest of his line: 5 runs on 6 hits while walking none, hitting a batter, and striking out 6. He threw 72 pitches, 51 for strikes…
Yep, complete and utter crap.
But Drew Pomeranz, someone I didn’t think we would see again this season came out and calmed things down (even if he did let an inherited runner score), pitching 2.
