After taking a game back yesterday in dramatic fashion (thanks for the heart attack, Matt Barnes), the Red Sox take on the Mariners today, hoping for a similar result (a win) with a less similar method of getting there (no drama please). On the plus side, there was no drama.
Toeing the rubber for the Sox was “Nasty” Nate Eovaldi. The Mariners countered with Chris Flexen, who either has no nickname or has one that is so unknown that baseball-reference couldn’t help me out. For background information, Flexen entered today’s contest with a 3.38 ERA despite allowing 12.
