Red Sox 1, Reds 2: Searching for offense

The Red Sox pitching was largely fantastic on Tuesday night at Fenway. Michael Wacha was perfect through four, and while the staff had to work out of a few jams as the night went on they allowed just two runs through the whole game. And they were unearned run with Rafael Devers rushing a throw for an ill-timed error, and then Xander Bogaerts trying to make a difficult throw and having it end up past Franchy Cordero at first base. Those plays effectively lost the game, but the defense wasn’t the issue. That would be the offense, which was shut out through eight innings and now has just one run to its name over the last two games combined.
