Sox finally get a hit. Just an infield chop by Leon, but at least there's a base runner.

markj · July 30, 2018, 07:05:20 PM

To no avail. Mookie K's to end the inning.

markj · July 30, 2018, 07:17:38 PM

Sox with a lot of choppers back to the mound. Not going to score many runs that way.

longgame · July 30, 2018, 07:20:35 PM

Nola comes as advertised

markj · July 30, 2018, 07:33:45 PM

Nunez lucks out a bit with a misplayed shot in CF that brings in Bradley. Game tied at 1.

markj · July 30, 2018, 07:38:00 PM

Well that hit-and-run didn't work out so well.

Yep needed a ground ball to 2nd and the Sox would be ahead but got a line drive instead.

Just squeaked out of that inning. Pretty good game by Price, though. Not much to complain about.

Yes good game by Price. When you hold a team to 1 run through 8 innings you can't complain to much. Let's see if the Sox can squeak out a run in the bottom of the 8th.

Mookie should occasionally consider not swinging for the fences. Just a bloop into the outfield would have been good there. Another K didn't help.

markj · July 30, 2018, 08:44:05 PM

Helluva play by Holt. Should be permanent 2B until/unless Pedey come back.

Best performance by Price this year.

On to the top of the 10th inning . . .
Sox 1 - Phillies 1

Oh boy, this looks bad.
