Game could turn around here.

Gardner is always a pest. But at least this time he didn't cause any damage. Hembree gets them out of that jam. Sox still up 6-2.

Sox look like a different team tonight.

Raffy with a weird blooper to bring in Xander. Good to see some clutch hitting with RISP. Sox up 7-2.

markj · June 02, 2019, 08:58:26 PM

Something weird going on in the stands behind home plate. No one is looking at the game.

Meatball Matt Barnes loads the bases with no outs. Going to be tough getting out of this jam with no runs.

markj · June 02, 2019, 09:16:56 PM

Balk? Seriously? So Barnes balks in a run. Now 8-3.

markj · June 02, 2019, 09:19:34 PM

Is Cora sleeping? Barnes is useless tonight. Get someone up in the pen now.

elktonnick · June 02, 2019, 09:23:44 PM

Watching Barnes pitch is like having a root canal without Novocain.

markj · June 02, 2019, 09:31:02 PM

Well, he "only" gave up 3 runs. Maybe the pen can hold the remaining lead.

BoSoxFanNY · June 02, 2019, 09:31:46 PM

AND yet, last night, with no lead -
the bullpen was great - allowing no runs.
SIGH . . .

The rain was ridiculous though. Barnes was soaked and couldnâ€™t get a grip. I figure he was the best chance to get through that inning no matter what though as we all know heâ€™s about the best they have.

Now Workman is the closer of the day.

longgame · June 02, 2019, 09:33:28 PM

Here we go. Lead off hitter on, hold on to your hats.

elktonnick · June 02, 2019, 09:38:47 PM

Watching Workman is far less traumatic than Barnes . And He gets his second save Sox win.

BoSoxFanNY · June 02, 2019, 09:39:42 PM

PHEW!
Sox hold on to win!

Red Sox 8 - Yankees 5.

First win of the season against the Yankees.
