Quick 11 pitch inning for Sale.

[Rob from Mass]

Maybe once Vazquez gets under.100 Cora will give Swihart a chance

[markj]

Sale is just bad luck for this team. They can't seem to score a damn run when he's on the mound. Even Xander K'd with bases loaded. Ugh.

[Rob from Mass]

Raffy now has 6 of the 9 Sox errors.Huge work in progress  in the field.

[markj]

Vaz blows an out at the plate.

[Rob from Mass]

2 HBP and a E  plus a sac fly gets in a run .Go figure.

[markj]

Sale having control issues tonight. Almost plunked another one.

[Rob from Mass]

Bats are snoozing so far.

[markj]

Royals playing small ball and scoring runs. Sox look an awful lot like last year's team.

[markj]

Moreland with a solo dinger. Sox finally on the board.

[markj]

Raffy wanted to stand there admiring his "homer" I think. Not quite deep enough.

[markj]

Wow, JBJ with a hit and RBI. What do you know.

[Rob from Mass]

Big run on 2nd .Who gets him home?
