31 Views

We wanted to get it collectively after The Great Chicago Dumpster Fire yesterday, and Alex Cora made a number of lineup adjustments in an try to shake up each the offense and protection.

Richard Fitts was handing over a very stable efficiency, and the Pink Sox offense had carried out simply sufficient to steer the sport. However when Fitts got here out of the sport with an as-yet-unknown damage, the whole lot fell aside. Zack Kelly after which Aroldis Chapman mixed to permit three runs, giving the sport away.

This isn’t to let the offense off the hook; they couldn’t get it carried out, regardless of quite a few probabilities. Actually disappointing.

Three Studs

Richard Fitts

5.0 IP, 5K, 2H, 0 ER, 1BB. The 5K are a profession excessive. He got here out of the sport after summoning trainers to the mound in the course of an at-bat, and Zack Kelly virtually instantly squandered his sturdy outing. No comfortable ending right here.

Ceddanne Rafaela

He tripled for his first extra-base hit of 2025, and put the primary run on the board. He adopted up with a single within the seventh, with the sport tied, then shortly stole second base.

Romy Gonzalez

Two walks, a single, and what ought to have been one other single within the seventh (the play was challenged however upheld as an out, although the primary baseman’s foot actually seemed to be off the bag).

Honorable Point out

Baserunning

Three stolen bases, although none led to a run scored. However we’ll take it.

Three Duds

Offense

11 Okay. 9 LOB. 1-6 with RISP. Simply horrible.

Zack Kelly

Got here on in the course of an at-bat after Fitts left the sport with an damage. Kelly instantly surrendered a stroll (although he inherited the 2-2 depend from Fitts) then on the third batter he confronted, gave up the house run that tied the sport.

1.2 IP, 1H, 2R, 2 ER, 1BB, 3K, 1HR.
