"We're well aware of where we were with an 8-1 lead," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "This is our job. Games like this do happen, they can happen. Obviously it has. It's up to us to come in here ready to play [Saturday]."
It has been an unsettling couple of days for the reeling Red Sox, who followed a thrilling comeback victory Sunday with four straight defeats.
In Thursday's loss, lefty Wade Miley engaged in a shouting match with Farrell in the dugout en route to being swept out of Baltimore.
And just when Friday looked like it would be a fresh start, it turned into an in-game nightmare.
