"What are you gonna do?" he said. "Wear it."
The onslaught began when Mookie Betts doubled on the fifth pitch of the game, followed by singles by Andrew Benintendi, Mitch Moreland, Hanley Ramirez, Xander Bogaerts and a double by Jackie Bradley Jr. to surge Boston ahead, 5-0.
"I felt pretty good the whole game," Nolasco said. "First inning, a lot of balls found some holes. You can't do anything but wear it."
As to why the Red Sox managed to have their way with Nolasco, there wasn't much of an answer from Nolasco and his manager, Mike Scioscia, They agreed he was, for the most part, making his pitches and hitting his spots.
