Red Sox 2, Blue Jays 6: Bad managing and nonexistent offense

That’s about as infuriating of a loss as you can get. The Red Sox offense was simultaneously nonexistent and riddled with bad luck, as the rare hard contact they did make either found gloves or floated out of play. They were able to remain in the game because Nathan Eovaldi was dealing, cruising through seven innings of work, allowing two runs on a pair of solo homers. And the offense did finally come alive in the eighth, scoring two to tie the game! But then Will Venable made some choices. First, he pulled a dealing Eovaldi with just 72 pitches under his belt.
