Red Sox - 000 000 403 - 7 9 1 Orioles - 016 212 60x - 18 20 1While Wade Miley (2.1-5-7-2-0, 57) and five relievers were being battered, the Red Sox offense was shut down for most of the afternoon by a guy who began the day with a 17.42 ERA (and an AL-worst 20 earned runs allowed).
Boston scored its runs via the long ball. In the seventh, Pablo Sandoval hit a three-run homer and Hanley Ramirez followed with a solo shot. Ramirez cranked a three-run shot in the ninth.
Also: Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-4. ... Brock Holt had two singles and two walks.
Betts, CFDavid Ortiz gets the day off, but this is not related to his one-game suspension. ... The Red Sox sent pitcher Matt Barnes back to Pawtucket and called up reliever Health Hembree.

Glad I missed this one.
OTM's Ben Buchanan calls this game an "unmitigated disaster".
Also: "The Red Sox are now 4-7 in their last 11 games. Bad stretches for good teams are not unheard of. The 2013 Red Sox went 2-9 in early May, getting outscored 36-67 in the process. ... But even just barely holding on above .500 as they are, there's no pretending the Red Sox look good anymore."
"But even just barely holding on above .500 as they are, there's no pretending the Red Sox look good anymore."
How can people say this in April? The Sox don't look good *right now*.
