The Sox had ample opportunity to take the game today and complete the sweep, but sadly that did not happen. RISP opportunities were squandered, the pitching wasn’t stellar, and Aroldis Chapman reminded everybody that he’s human and couldn’t keep the A’s from walking off the last game of the series. Oh well. We had a split road trip, so I guess it could’ve been worse.
Three Studs:
Nate Eaton: Went 2-3 with an RBI double and a single. He had a good series overall.
Rob Refsnyder: Hit a pinch-hit RBI double in the top of the ninth to tie the game and make up for Hamilton getting caught stealing.
Kyle Harrison: Had a great debut! He pitched 3 innings, and while he allowed 3 hits and only struck out 2 batters, he gave up no runs.
Bonus Studs: Greg Weissert/Justin Wilson: Also gave up no run
