BOSTON -- With the Boston Red Sox less than 24 hours removed from an embarrassing 21-2 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels, the bar wasn’t set particularly high for starter Sean O’Sullivan on Sunday.
Manager John Farrell said before the game that he would take four or five effective innings from the right-hander. And he was thrilled afterward when that was exactly what he received, as O’Sullivan shut out the Halos over his first five frames to lead the Sox to a much-needed 10-5 win and their first series victory in their last four attempts.
