Most of this Tuesday was looking like a distressing night for the Red Sox. Chris Sale was supposed to pitch two innings, but his lack of efficiency led to a longer-than-expected first and that was his only frame on the mound. Meanwhile, the offense was an absolute no-show for most of the night against Ryan Borucki. The young lefty was making Boston’s bats look silly all night, and while he certainly deserves plenty of credit for that it didn’t make it any easier to watch. Fortunately, the bullpen — including Nathan Eovaldi, who was in this role temporarily with Sale serving as an opener — was terrific and Brock Holt came through with a massively clutch pinch hitting appearance.
