Braves 3, Red Sox 2 F/10: Offense sells stellar start short once again
There’s no offense Early, Middle, or Late!

Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images | Dale Zanine-Imagn Images The last week feels like rinse and repeat for these Boston Red Sox. From Peyton Tolle, Brayan Bello (post opener), Ranger Suarez, and now tonight with Connelly Early, the starting rotation is doing just what they need to do for this ball club.
It’s when they step up to the plate they’re still like ghosts. The Red Sox haven’t scored more than four runs in a loss since April 13th. That’s more than a month ago.
Thankfully, instead of putting up a lead and giving it up, it was clawing back from a small deficit, but it’s still just a frustrating watch. We’re onto tomorrow. Also RIP Bobby Cox—you were one fiery dude and made watching baseball outside of Boston a joy to keep track of.
Studs Connelly Early (5. 0 IP 5H, 2 ER, 6K, 2HR) These starting pitchers continue to just do their job. It felt like he really wanted to stay out there for the sixth but 86 pitches is fine for a young pitcher with so much season left.
