In Game 4 of the ALDS, Boston’s starting pitcher lasted longer than John Farrell. The Red Sox manager was ejected in the bottom of the second inning after a spat with the home plate umpire. While he wasn’t in the dugout for the remainder of the contest, Farrell still kept tabs on his team and watched them lose a closely fought battle to the Houston Astros, 5-4.
The defeat eliminates the Red Sox from the postseason, exiting at the same point they had one year prior. After the game, Farrell shared his thoughts on his team’s performance — particularly from his pitching staff — and his future with the organization.
