COMMENTARY
Holding the big-swinging Toronto Blue Jays to 10 runs across three games at Fenway Park feels like a recipe for success. Especially when half of those came in a five-run second inning Wednesday off Nick Pivetta, which somehow made him lasting through the fourth feel mildly uplifting.
“I made mechanical changes that I’ve been trying to search for the past 15, 20 days now,” he told reporters, in part. “That was positive, but super disappointing with how the second inning went.
“I had way higher hopes with how this would go.”
For now, that can just be the tagline for the April 2022 Red Sox, but I’m holding an option to stretch it out.
