July 20-22, 2029: at NY Yankees (3)
Game 1: 0-4 L. LP-German (5-3, 1.1 4 3 3 0 2, 3 HR). German left early with a blister but not before giving up 3 solo homers and the bats were limp noodles, only managing four hits.
Game 2: 8-10 L. LP-Moran (1-3). Starter-Sears (5 6 3 3 1 10). HR-Arakawa (1), Wong (4), Santana (25), DeLoach (14). Quite possibly the worst loss of the year as they were up 8-2 in the 6th before the pen gave up 4 runs in both the 6th and 7th to lose the game as Cousins, Dodson and Moran combined to go 2 8 7 7 2 3 and waste a good day from the offense and a 10-strikeout start from Sears. Arakawa (his first in MLB) and Santana's homers were 3-run shots.
Game 3: 9-4 W. WP-Khattak (3-4, 5 8 4 4 2 8). HR-DeLoach 2 (16), Arakawa (2), Franco (13), Caminero (13). The bats were homer-happy again especially DeLoach, who had a 4-hit day including his pair of solo shots. Khattak wasn't very good outside of the whiffs but got the win as the pen actually shut down New York the rest of the way for a change.
Team record: 52-48. Now 5 1/2 back of Toronto and in the third wild card spot, 1/2 game ahead of Oakland and 1 game up on two more teams. Next up: Home for 3 against Cleveland.
MLB News: Ketel Marte, in his first season with Boston after 12 with Arizona, recorded his 2000th career hit.
