We could have gone back into the archives and copied and pasted much of this recap but, at the end of the day, chose to write it up from scratch. The starting pitcher kept the team in the game, the bats went cold in the late innings, the opponent walked it off, and, for the eighth consecutive time, the Red Sox did not win a series. Nathan Eovaldi had to battle through one tough inning but had his good stuff overall and found his way to a quality start against the defending champions. The Sox got some key hits early, including the first home run of Trevor Story’s Boston career, and built up a 3-0 lead.
