Not to be too confident, but the Red Sox should have had this series. James Paxton and Chris Sale threw absolute gems for two of these games. Hell, Sale threw what has to be far and away the best start of anyone from the rotation this season so far. But then things fell apart. Kenley Jansen blowing back-to-back saves? Not a great look.
There’s a lot more to worry about now.
Corey Kluber continues to be awful. I’m still baffled that he was the only offseason addition to the rotation, and no, I’m not taking the “Chris Sale coming back is the biggest addition anyone could make” argument, despite his recent success.
