The Red Sox did not retaliate against the Tigers.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Boston jumped all over Valdez from the start, and it was only a matter of time before he got hit. Three home runs and 10 runs later, it was clear he was frustrated.
When you’re getting rocked, you try to take it out on someone. Valdez chose Trevor Story, and the Red Sox broadcast team wasn’t having it.
It’s not like this is the first time Boston’s had drama this year, and the Red Sox broadcast crew wasn’t afraid to call it out. Will Middlebrooks, a former big leaguer, knows what he’s talking about.
This one felt recognizable early, and the result wasn’t surprising by the end.
Original Observation: When a team is on a hot streak, it’s amazing how quickly everyone becomes a pitching expert.
