The Red Sox found themselves back in the team record books during Thursday’s season opener against the Orioles.
Just not the good records.
Despite a spirited comeback in the later innings, the Red Sox were unable to climb out of a steep, six-run deficit during their 10-9 loss to the Orioles at Fenway Park.
Before Boston’s bats started doing damage, Baltimore’s lead ballooned in the early innings due to a lack of command from Corey Kluber and the Sox bullpen.
In total, Boston relinquished nine walks during Thursday’s loss, which stands as the most surrendered in a season opener since 1966.
