The good news: Rick Porcello pitched well. Mitch Moreland hit a couple of homers. The bad news: The bullpen blew a 2-0 lead in the seventh, and then after Moreland tied the game in the ninth they gave up the walk-off in the eleventh. Not ideal.
Rick Porcello is pitching for himself right now. That sounds selfish, but that’s the way things go for a team that is out of the postseason. Porcello is going to be a free agent in a couple of months, and the way his season has gone has already cost him a whole lot of money.
