The Red Sox have reached the halfway point of the season, and there can’t possibly be a more fitting way to do so than with a one-run, extra-inning, walk-off loss, complete with multiple blown leads by the bullpen against the Angels on Tuesday night. The only thing missing is that the team can’t be .500 because there’s been an odd number of games, so “one-under .500” will have to do. Matt Gross outlined just how “pathetic” this hitting performance was in the recap last night. One of the more difficult parts to accept is just how dominant Garrett Crochet was in this start, and yet he left after seven innings with just a 1-0 lead, which was blown 30 seconds later.
