Here at Pink Hat Sports, we know that even the most die-hard fans have lives outside of sports. No one can see every game.
So if you missed yesterday’s Red Sox game, here’s what you’ll want to know before you head off to Sunday dinner with the in-laws.
The Game: Baltimore Orioles v. Boston Red Sox
The Score: Red Sox: 2, Orioles: 8
The Recap: Aaron Cook started for the Sox, and just did not have luck on his side. He threw a bad pitch, and as a result had to cover home plate to prevent Orioles Chris Davis from scoring. Chris Davis’ cleats collided with Cook’s shin with nasty results. Cook was able to stay in the game after being treated in the clubhouse, but he simply couldn’t last. He went on to give up 4 runs in the 3rd inning, and then he left the game for good. The Sox and Cook simply could not recover, and went on to lose 8-4.
Ouch!!! Hard to believe Cook stayed in the Game after that! (Photo courtesy of CBSSports.com)
Beyond the Score: This was the Sox fourth straight loss, continuing their losing record at home this year (4-9). One bright spot in the Red Sox lineup has been young Will Middlebrooks. He didn’t play yesterday, but it looks like he’ll be back today. Here’s hoping the between Middlebrooks, and today’s pitcher, Clay Buchholz, the Sox can prevent a sweep by the Orioles at home.
