The Red Sox had the game in the bag. Seriously, it was 6-1 and starter Brian Johnson had put on a strong outing to give the team all that they needed. Then Alex Cora went to the pen and things began to crumble and crumble fast. And in the blink of an eye that massive lead was gone.
For what it’s worth it wasn’t the entire bullpen that gave the game away as Josh Smith struck out the side and Ryan Brasier though walking a pair, left unblemished. His walks though would begin the downfall that would lead to the overall collapse of the pen.
