The Red Sox pitching staff needs some serious help. The rotation has not been pitching up to its capabilities, and they don’t even really have a true fifth starter. That once again revealed itself to be true on Thursday as Hector Velázquez was knocked out without even making it through three innings. The bullpen allowed four runs in their own right, including another blown save late in the game. Despite all of that, the Red Sox beat a bad team and won a series they needed to win thanks to clutch homers from the offense. Specifically, it was Michael Chavis and Marco Hernandez getting the big ones in this game.
