The Red Sox lineup is so, so imbalanced. Their 2-5 is virtually impossible to navigate - Verdugo/Martinez/Bogaerts/Devers are the only quartet on one team each with an OPS of .850+ - but then so many holes from 6-9.
Red Sox get three with that heart of the order to take the lead, have runners on second and third with none out... then can& #39;t add on, as Renfroe grounds out with the infield in, Gonzalez strikes out (after being ahead 3-0), and Dalbec flies out to right.
There& #39;s been a lot of this happening for the Red Sox of late - a failure to break open games when the opportunity presents itself.
