There aren’t many teams that have had a worse year than the Red Sox in 2015, but the Miami Marlins team they faced on Tuesday night is one of them. The Marlins came into the game with just 44 wins sitting at the bottom of the NL East. Boston had defeated Miami in both games of a two-game set at Fenway at the beginning of July. They wouldn’t be able to extend that streak by the end of a long night on Tuesday.
Steven Wright got the start for Boston coming off of a gem and possibly the best-pitched game of his career last week in Yankee Stadium.
