Final Score: Red Sox 11, Phillies 5
Coming off of series win against the struggling Chicago Cubs, the Phillies got a wake-up call tonight. There was hope early on in this one as Philadelphia got out to an early lead twice. Both leads did not last very long as the Boston Red Sox took advantage of Vince Velasquez’s mistakes. It also didn’t take long before Boston blew this game wide open and out of reach.
After a hot start with back-to-back extra base hits, Velasquez squandered the lead. He got into trouble in the first inning allowing two runs but limited the damage.
