Despite a number of singles and walks, and even a double by Wilyer Abreu, the Sox had trouble crossing home plate. Though the game was never out of reach in terms of the score, it sure felt that way for most of the game because the Sox could hardly bring anyone home. Devers did, when he drew a walk that forced in a run, but the Sox waited until the 8th to do it again, when Carlos Narváez knocked in a big run to bring the Sox within one.
Kristian Campbell put on a show, both in left field and producing at the plate.
