The Boston Red Sox have not scored a run in 18 innings of baseball. Since arriving in Oakland, Boston has seen their bats dissolve, and in turn has watched the offense that was the best in baseball just one season ago, fall silent.
That is a tactic that certainly needs to change going forward, as Boston fell in the series opener against the A’s 7-0, and again last night 1-0 as they failed to get starter Chris Sale any run support. Last night’s outing was the first quality start by any Red Sox starter all season, and granted we’re just six games in, but that’s a slight issue.
