Porcello Picks up 14th Loss, Red Sox Fall to LA 3-2
Monday, July 24, 2017
Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello allowed three runs in eight innings while striking out six, but picked up his 14th loss of the season.
The Red Sox drop to 55-45 on the season.
Red Sox Fall Short in LA
With the game tied at two in the seventh inning, LA’s Luis Valbuena hit a solo home run to right field to give the Angels a 3-2 lead.
The Red Sox would only manage one hit the rest of the way, taking the 3-2 loss.
Boston took a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning following a Hanley Ramirez home run to left field. However, the Angels came back in the bottom of the inning and tied the game on a home run by Mike Trout.
Boston only had six hits in the game, while the Angels had only five.
Next up
The Red Sox return to action on Monday, July 24 when they visit the Seattle Mariners at 10 p.m.
The pitching matchup is Boston’s Eduardo Rodriguez against Seattle’s James Paxton.
It's crazy that the Red Sox have a gazillion dollar payroll and no bench whatsoever. They don't have pinchrunners, pinchhitters, anything.
