I thought Valdez pitched a heckuva game--8 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, which means he went through the Sox lineup 3 times.
As for game 3, their bullpen was fantastic. Five guys combined for 7.2 scoreless innings. That, however, was also the game in which Bogey doubled with one out and Verdugo and JDM couldn't bring him home and Arroyo tripled with one out and Schwarber and Raffie couldn't bring him him. In that game the Sox had a total of 5 hits, but they also were handed 7 walks. So definitely some choking going on. They were 0 for 9 with RISP.
So right now you and I and everyone else are watching a lineup that has now gone 21 consecutive innings while scoring exactly 1 run. That can't all be great pitching. There is some choking going on.
