Red Sox humbled by Jays at historic loss
Boston-The Red Sox doubled up Saturday afternoon, July 1923, when Cleveland scored of all innings (by the widest margin in the 13th-6th round) on the way to a 27-3 game 1 defeat. head shot.
This was the largest number of races allowed in the history of the Red Sox franchise. Until Friday evening.
In the first game after the All-Star Break, the Red Sox's decline was the lowest ever as the Blue Jays set franchise records in both games and won the first series at Fenway Park
Boston knows how important this three-game draw against the Blue Jays is, with Toronto two games ahead for third place American League Wild Card After losing 10 of their last 13 games ahead of the summer recess, the Red Sox spent the break thinking about how to stay in the fight.playoffs in the middle of the AL East where they are yet to win a draw.
The stage was set for them to start over. Instead, they looked lethargic.
It was very difficult, said manager Alex Cora. We don't execute throws. We didn't play well defensively Overall, not a great night. We had to make adjustments, and we had to find a way.
We just have to get better.
Starter Nathan Eovaldi allowed nine runs in 2 2/3 innings, the most runs he has allowed this season. However, it was not the shortest journey which came on May 17 against the Astros, when he allowed nine rounds (six earned) in 1 2/3 innings. All nine were scored in the second inning, making it the most runs Boston has allowed in a single frame this year.
The Blue Jays topped that in the fifth inning, scoring 11 runs on six singles and two doubles. The Red Sox helped them along the way, as right-hander Kaleb Ort who allowed eight runs in two-thirds of an inning watched Matt Chapman pop up in fell to his side between the mound and home plate.
No matter how many runs I give up, if I come out of the game and we lose, I'll be sad to watch, Eovaldi said. For me, I did the same thing as I did for five days. I knew I was going to start the first game, so I was ready for tonight. And I didn't go out to work .I put our people in a bad situation.
In Eovaldi's first bad start against Houston, the Astros hit five homers to score multiple runs. On Friday, the Blue Jays needed just one more, and it suddenly came off their third straight game of seven.
After making contact with a deep ball to center, Raimel Tapia almost dropped to his knees, thinking he had hit the infield with the bases loaded. But as Reds center forward Jarren Duran strode forward with his arms out to the side, it was clear he hadn't seen the ball. He landed several yards behind him, and as he landed on the warning track, Duran didn't follow. By the time Alex Verdugo came in from the left side to score him, Tapia had made a big hit in the infield.
Between Eovaldi and Ort, left-hander Austin Davis allowed three homers in 1 1/3 innings. It wasn't until Jake Diekman in the seventh and Hirokazu Sawamura in the eighth that the Red Devils were able to get in and out of the hole unscathed.
At the time, the Blue Jays were still on a twenty-seven-run lead, and Boston would hold on to that championship in 1923. But in the top of the ninth, the Red Sox gave up the position player Yolmer Sánchez who had been assigned a contract from Triple-A Worcester that day -- to the mound. He delivered a pair of doubles and a pair of singles, as Chapman drove in his 28th run of the night.
You're trying to accelerate the game and use people in places. They're not good, right? Cora said. But at the same time, it's one loss. It doesn't seem like a big deal. Like I said, it's not about their offense, but what we didn't do defensively, on the mound. It's hard to watch. It's hard to live in, to be honest with you.
I want to say that this happens, but it doesn't happen often. We just have to turn the page and prepare for tomorrow. This is the only way you can attack the next season. now.
