For the third time this season, the Red Sox got swept and blew another early-game lead. The sweep now puts the team 2 games under .500. Richard Fitts’s return to major league pitching went pretty well overall, but once again the offense failed to provide adequate support for the starting pitcher. It was another stinky game. The West Coast Road Trip wasn’t a winning one this time.
Three Studs:
Richard Fitts: If you leave the back-to-back home runs out of it, it was actually a very good start for Dick Fitts, despite only going 4 innings.
