A lot of things didn’t go quite right in the second game of the three-game series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox. Before the game descended into the madness of extra innings, on paper there was plenty to like, but the game showed that the team will need to clean up some sloppy play if before the weekend.
Starting out with Tyler Glasnow, let’s look at the line on paper: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K in 97 pitches. Good, right? Absolutely, if you don’t look at the fact Glasnow’s command wasn’t in peak form, or that the Red Sox first run came off a wild pitch that bounced up over Mike Zunino’s head, allowing Christian Arroyo to score the first run of the day.
