2021 Game Ninety-One: Red Sox 13, Blue Jays 4

 

Oh no

Xander Bogaerts was the first batter we saw when we turned the game on, and though he bats third, the score was already 2-0, which seemed pretty bad, but it sure got worse: after Boegaerts grounded out to Bo Bichette, it went walk, double, walk, grand slam, pitching change, so Ross Stripling's line on the day ended up at six runs on four hits and two walks in one-third of an inning. Anthony Kay didn't make out a whole lot better, giving up another five runs in less than two innings of work, but it didn't matter too much at that point anyway. I guess it's good that the back end of the bullpen pitched okay, and that Cavan Biggio homered? Not a whole lot to like in this one, but this is more or less what the Blue Jays did to the Rangers over the weekend, so I suppose it's only fair.
