The Red Sox played two games on Wednesday, with some of the team staying home to play the Orioles at JetBlue Park and the rest heading out on the road to take on the Rays. Prior to first pitches, Blake Swihart was scratched following the loss of his younger brother. In the games, Boston lost both contests. Alex Cora says the team was understandably not fully into the game after the somber morning.
Obviously, more important than any game result was the tragic loss suffered by Blake Swihart.
