Well this certainly was a baseball game. We saw some of the bad with the Red Sox, including a bullpen we all knew was not deep enough being exposed and an offense liable for long lapses falling into that trap again. However, the good outweighed the bad on this night and the Red Sox clinched their first series victory of 2019. They got a solid performance from Rick Porcello, a big second inning that gave them a nice cushion with which to work, an Michael Chavis’ major-league debut that resulted in a clutch double.
