Hey, the Sox led most of the game this time! That must count for something, right?
Well, er, uh, no. Unless you mean counting for a sixth straight loss and a 2-15 record.
On the bright side, Jonathan Cannon made his major league debut as impressive as Nick Nastrini’s was on Monday, giving up only one run in five innings, and that was because Dominic Fletcher managed to trip over his own feet and fall down on a ball hit almost right to him. Cannon allowed just two hits besides the Fletcher Benny Hill imitation, walked just one, and mixed a lot of pitches into a lot of strikes — 54 in his 79 tosses.
