My Comment: Well, so much for the road trip being a salvation for the Red Sox - losing series, shutouts, and a sweep marked this journey away from Boston. With a day off, perhaps the team can regroup and have a successful homestand. With all the losses, it is amazing the Red Sox are in second place.
