Red Sox 7, Rangers 2
- Disappointment.
- I guess if you’re only going to have three hits in the game, two of them being homers is pretty good. Though it is undermined by the “only getting three hits” part.
- Oh, and the Rangers only drew one walk in the game. That’s a problem. Particularly when combined with the “only three hits” part.
- Maybe the Rangers could have eked out a win somehow despite the problematic offensive performance if they got exceptional pitching, but that didn’t happen. Nathan Eovaldi’s command wasn’t as sharp as he would have liked, and he actually issued a walk in the game, the first walk he has issued since June.
