The Red Sox lost in embarrassing fashion on Monday, but rather than bounce back in a positive way Boston just picked up where they left off. Some sloppy defense early on passed the baton to wildly homer-happy pitching, and the Red Sox were never really in this game. After getting on a bit of a roll, Boston has now lost three in a row.
It’s hard to overstate how bad Monday was, with the Red Sox not just blowing a 7-1 lead, which would surely be bad enough on its own, but doing so while playing some of the worst defense seen around these parts in a very long time.
