Gaze upon it and weep — the worst pitch placement you’ve ever seen.
That was the sixth-inning curveball that Alex Verdugo took 447 feet (at 108 mph) to take the Red Sox from an 0-2 deficit to a 3-2 lead. An insurance run would be added in a busy ninth inning to make the final score 4-2, but they obviously didn’t need it. The real dagger came from the bat of Verdugo.
It’s a shame, too, because the rest of Bieber’s night was an effective outing, even if it wasn’t his most electric display on the mound.
