Drew Pomeranz would have been outstanding in his latest start for the Boston Red Sox if he didn’t have to face Giancarlo Stanton.
The lefty delivered six solid innings in which he allowed only four hits and a pair of walks. Unfortunately, two of those hits were solo home runs off the bat of Stanton. Neither was particularly crushed, at least not to the mammoth proportions we’re used to seeing from the former MVP.
Stanton’s second-inning line drive would have been off the wall at Fenway, perhaps holding him only to a long single.
