I see Eovaldi is scheduled.  Is Barnes also scheduled to pitch as well?  Surely Cora will give him a night off.  The guy is breathing on fumes right now.  I say that in jest, but surely the manager knows that his closer has never pitched this many innings in a long, long time.

If it were, I wouldn't have Marwin Gonzalez in left field.

Guess they could of put Kiki in the outfield & Araúz at 2nd.

Sox had a good thing going but the old DP ended the fun. Still, up 3-0. Now they need 6 or 7 more before the BP comes into play.

[markj]

Scoreless inning for Eovaldi, but 32 pitches. He won't make it through 4 innings at that rate.

[Sea Dog 23]

Are my eyes failing me? I think I just saw Dalbec draw a walk to start the 2nd.

[longgame]

A couple more runs,  Let’s keep it up, we have to remember the bullpen will be in this game later.

[markj]

Much better inning for Eovaldi. Now the Sox need 5 more runs to give them a chance to win this one.

[markj]

There we go. They better not blow a 10-0 lead.

[markj]

Dalbec lucks out and picks up 3 RBI. 14-0 Sox.

[longgame]

Two touchdowns should be safe.  Smallest 14 run lead ever!

[elktonnick]

Well as they say I'd rather be lucky than good.
