To say Tuesday night’s game between the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians was strange, would be an understatement. In a game that featured four lead changes and two ties, it was Christian Vazquez that delivered the walk-off bomb.
There were many reasons why this game was an anomaly. First of all, with Chris Sale and Carlos Carrasco on the mound, many anticipated a very low scoring game. However, Sale allowed a season-high seven earned runs and Carrasco coughed up a five run lead in the second inning.
