This was such s bad game that the weather gods simply decided to finish it early. After five innings of play the tarp was pulled onto the field, and about an hour later with the rain refusing to relent, the game was called as a shutout victory for the Red Sox.
I’m not going to get too bogged down with the details, but it was bad. It was a bad, bad game. So much so I simply cannot offer you better adjectives for its badness.
After a clean 1-2-3 first for both sides with Springs facing off against former Ray Nathan Eovaldi, it was Springs who flinched first in the bottom of the second with a Verdugo walk and Hosmer single, followed by an Arroyo single to score Verdugo and put the Red Sox on the board first.
