Red Sox lowlight: Six men left on base

My Comment: Why oh why didn't Farrell keep Doubront in the game? Even though the Red Sox won in dramatic fashion, Dooubront deserved to try for a complete game shutout of the Rays. Instead, the relief pitcher gives up the Rays only run, thus forcing the Red Sox to bat in the bottom of the ninth and the reliever gets the win. It is just not right.

TAMPA BAY: Starting Pitcher: Jake Odorizzi; Losing Pitcher: Joel Peralta
BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Felix Doubront; Winning Pitcher: Andrew Bailey (3)
TAMPA BAY: Homerun: Kelly Johnson
BOSTON: Homerun: Daniel Nava (10), Jonny Gomes (5)

Red Sox: Wins 44, Losses 29, Percentage: .603

Next game: Wednesday 19 June 2013, 4:10 p.m.PT/7:10 p.m.ET, Tampa Bay Rays, Fenway Park, Ryan Dempster
