Boston Pitching Staff, Especially Starters, Abused By Astros & Blue Jays; Yesterday, Red Sox Allowed Eight Home Runs In A Game For The First Time

The Red Sox pitching staff has allowed 10+ hits in eight consecutive games, with the Blue Jays pounding out 20 hits yesterday and scoring in seven of nine innings in an 18-4 rout. Eight of those 20 hits were home runs, something no team had ever done against the Red Sox. The Red Sox also allowed season-highs in runs, hits, and extra-base hits (11).

In winning two of the first three games of the series, the Blue Jays have batted .383 (46-for-120). Nathan Eovaldi starts the finale tonight, Boston's 15th straight day with a game.
