Flat offense. First guy out of the pen was bad.
That kind of sums up last night's 7-3 loss for the Red Sox in Toronto. Daniel Bard exited the game with the score 3-1. In comes Justin Thomas & he gives up a walk to a lefty to load the bases, then a double to bring in 2 big runs. Game over.
Bard pitched well. My only observation is that he gave up a lot of hits with 2 strikes on the batter. True, most hits were singles, but they were still hits. His line score will look worse than it really was, especially due to the ineffectiveness of Thomas.
The Sox still have a chance to win the series in Toronto with a victory this afternoon. It's all about winning series after being swept in the first one.
