I have been playing OOTP since v4. I don't recall a bigger bullpen meltdown than what happened in this game. Leading by a score of 7 to 6, the Boston Red Sox (62-54) self-destructed and allowed the Houston Astros (65-51) to score 10 runs in the top of the 9th inning to take the game by a 16 to 7 score.

Houston starter Luis Garcia did not record a decision, as he lasted only 2 innings in which he gave up 5 earned runs on 6 hits and 1 walk; Game Score 19. Matt Barnes covered the next 2 2/3 innings in which he permitted 1 earned run on 4 hits and 2 walk before turning the ball over to Carlos Estevez who pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Bryan Abreu (5-5) picked up the win for his 2 innings of work in which he allowed 1 earned run on 2 hits and 1 walk. The Astros had several outstanding batting performances, with Jeremy Pena (4 for 6, 2 Doubles, 2 Runs, 6 RBI), Mauricio Dubon (3 for 6, Double, 2 Runs, 2 RBI), Jose Altuve (2 for 6, Double, Run, 3 RBI), and Yordan Alvarez (2 for 5, Homerun, 2 Runs, RBI, Walk) each having a big day.

The Red Sox pitching staff had a rough day today! Starter Jack Flaherty had a terrible outing as he gave up 5 earned runs on 4 hits and 4 walks in just 2 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 24. Newly called up Naoyuki Uwasawa pitched 3 2/3 scoreless innings in which he scattered 2 hits and 2 walks without any damage. Garrett Cleavinger (BS 1) blew his save opportunity after he permitted 1 earned run on 3 hits and 1 walk in 1 2/3 innings. The continuing struggles of closer Liam Hendriks (4-4) (BS 3) were on full display her, as he imploded for 7 runs (4 earned) on 5 hits and 1 walk, which saw his ERA balloon to 3.04 on the season. Anthony Gose permitted 3 unearned runs on 3 hits and a walk, not to mention he permitted both of his inherited runners to score. At the plate, Boston's offense was powered by Jarren Duran (2 for 4, Double, Homerun, 3 Runs, RBI, Walk), Vaughn Grissom (3 for 5, Triple, 3 RBI, Stolen Base), and Masataka Yoshida (2 for 5, Double, Run, RBI, Stolen Base).
