The Red Sox gave us a little bit of hope at Fenway on Tuesday as they entered the sixth with a real-life lead, up 4-2 on the Phillies. Then they let 12 men come of the plate in the inning with Josh Taylor and Heath Hembree struggling mightily and it was 9-4 Phillies by the time the inning was over. Oh, and J.D. Martinez left the game after getting dehydrated. So, you know, typical night.
When you lose eight games in a row like the Red Sox had coming into Tuesday’s game at Fenway against the Phillies, you tend to have every kind of loss.
