Kevin Plawecki expressed frustration after ‘terrible’ missed call in Red Sox loss

The Red Sox could only muster three runs on Wednesday, eventually resulting in a 5-3 extra innings defeat in Atlanta.

But as replays clearly showed, a missed call earlier in the game should have resulted in at least one additional Boston run.

With the score tied 3-3 in the top of the sixth inning, the Red Sox had the bases loaded with two outs. Boston catcher Kevin Plawecki was at the plate facing Atlanta pitcher Collin McHugh.

Despite falling behind 0-2, Plawecki worked his way back to a full count. Needing only to draw a walk to force a run in from third base, Plawecki was selective at the plate, electing to not swing at the crucial 3-2 pitch from McHugh.
