Guerrero gagged on that after coming in with 2 outs. 

Another hill to climb

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, it hasn't been 58 games that the Sox have been playing well. It was 37 games where they were playing great.

[FredLynn]

It’s really best if the FLOPS finish behind Cleveland 

Tank baby tank!

[FredLynn]

Disgusting team

But this time you gave me a mountain, a mountain I can never climb. Apologies to the late great Marty Robbins.

[Tedballgame]

Tolle defintely did not have it tonight. Sox have scored enough to win. Tyron with a rare bad outing.

[FredLynn]

The FLOPS have now surrendered 24 runs in two games

Not necessarily; this game isn't over yet.

True 

The Ms aren’t done

Rafaela strikes out on an eye level ball a foot outside. What else is new…. 
Enjoy the rest of this loss.
Outta here

[vegasbob]

If the 8-5 stands up as it may, that's 4 losses in 5. 23 games after tonight.

Sox will be challenged to go 11-12, say 85 wins

This game was won 3 times if the pitching had been better .

Duran could help here with another HR or just pop out, whatever

[vegasbob]

I had forgotten Story can actually hit Fenway flyballs

Right back in it.

[Tedballgame]

Would have liked to see Rutschman hit for Wong.

[Tedballgame]

Gamboa about to put the game out of reach instead of getting a shut down inning.

[Tedballgame]

Gasper saved a run there. Great pick.

[vegasbob]

Why is Gamboa even a choice for the 9th in a 1 run game ?  

Tracy needs to think

[Tedballgame]

Now let's come back in the 9th.

[vegasbob]

Gasper has saved Story's rotten arm at least 3 times tonight

[Tedballgame]

Yesssssss!!!!!

[Tedballgame]

Have to get this run home.

[Tedballgame]

Hit a fly ball

[Tedballgame]

Cedanne comes through!!!!!

[Tedballgame]

Great slide by Roman.

[Tedballgame]

Homer wins it.

[Tedballgame]

Terrible AB by Abreu.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No question. A healthy Roman is the best hitter on this team. It certainly isn't Abreu.

[vegasbob]

So Anthony apparently does make a difference. 

Congrats to Cedanne for delivering

Rafaela has been very productive, both offensively and defensively.

No excuse Wilyer or Wontcha ?
