This was an ugly game that was part expected and part disappointed. On the one hand, the pitching matchup always looked like a loss, and that was before Hector Velazquez was scratched. Noah Syndergaard vs. William Cuevas seemed like a cruel joke. However, for as good as Syndergaard is — and he’s fantastic — it was still disappointing to see the Red Sox offense struggle so much. In the grand scheme of things, this loss didn’t have a huge impact. But it still wasn’t fun to watch, and the offense needs to be better.
