The Red Sox bats and everything else were quiet. Lucas Giolito needed to stay in the game, and thankfully he did that, saving the bullpen for another day. There was some excitement at the very end of the game, but the offense fell short.
The Marcelo Mayer Chronicles
Mayer handled his first chance in the field just fine, but needed a nice pick by Nick Sogard at first to complete the play. In the seventh, he smoothly fielded a grounder on the line and made a crisp throw to first. Two batters later, he really seemed to come into his own, nicely grabbing a Rob Refsnyder throw and applying a strong tag to the runner.
