Alex Speier sums up the horrorshow rather eloquently
April’s grim conclusion arrived in familiar fashion for the Red Sox.
The season’s dizzying first month was characterized primarily by a woeful offense that scored two or fewer runs 10 times in 22 contests. That offensive outage, in turn, placed immense pressure on a pitching staff whose formless bullpen often toppled in narrow defeats.
Those elements were on display Saturday night at Camden Yards, where the Sox wasted a brilliant performance by starter Nate Eovaldi in a dispiriting 2-1, walkoff loss to the Orioles that concluded a 9-13 month of April that included an 0-4 record in extra-inning games and a 3-6 mark in one-run contests.
