TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #88 of the season
Boston Red Sox (53-34) @ Los Angeles Angels (45-42)
Pitching Matchup - Garrett Richards vs Jaime Barria
**TRADES**
I went through and made all of the MLB trade deadline transaction from real life. I was going to wait until I reached the actual date in my franchise but wanted to make the transactions and get it over with since this years deadline had a ton of trades that were made.
The Red Sox opened the scoring when Rafael Devers crushed a hanging slider from Barria 411 feet down the RF line for a solo HR leading off the 2nd inning to put Boston up 1-0. The score remained 1-0 through 4 innings as Barria had allowed just one hit and Richards had cruised through his first 4 innings of work. Justin Upton led off the bottom of the 5th with a solo HR to tie the game up at 1-1 but Richards would retire the next 3 hitters to send the game to the 6th inning tied 1-1. Barria had allowed just one hit through 5 innings but issued a lead off walk to Verdugo to begin the top of the 6th and Jarren Duran would smoke a liner into the gap in right-center that rolled to the wall and Duran would show off his speed as he slid into 3rd base with a RBI triple that gave the Sox a 2-1 lead and Barria would exit as Junior Guerra came in from the pen. Xander Bogaerts would hit a sinking liner to RF and Marsh went into the slide but could not make the catch as the ball bounced away and Bogaerts would make it back to back RBI triples making it 3-1. Devers picked up a RBI on a ground out to extend the lead and Richards would pitch a scoreless bottom of the 6th to send the game to the 7th inning with Boston leading 4-1. Shohei Ohtani walked to lead off the bottom of the 7th and came in to score on a RBI double by Jared Walsh and Garrett Whitlock would come on to take over for Richards with the score now 4-2 and nobody out. Justin Upton sliced a blooper towards the RF line that dropped in right on the chalk and into the crowd for a RBI ground rule double to make it 4-3 and back to back singles from Iglesias and Marsh would load the bases with nobody out. Whitlock would get Max Stassi to ground into a huge double play but the tying run would score to make it a 4-4 game. Whitlock would get Fletcher to ground out to end the inning and we would go to the 8th inning with the score now tied 4-4. Boston was threatening in the top of the 8th after Bogaerts doubled down the LF line to put two men in scoring position for Devers with 1 out but Jose Quintana worked out of the jam with back to back Ks of Devers and Martinez as the Red Sox blow a golden opportunity. Adam Eaton doubled off Josh Taylor to lead off the bottom of the 8th and Boston would intentionally walk Anthony Rendon to get the lefty match up against Ohtani and try to set up the double play. Ohtani would bunt the runners up into scoring position and Jared Walsh would give the Angels a 5-4 lead with a sac fly to CF. Ottavino would come on and get a big strikeout of Upton to end the 8th inning and we would go to the 9th with Boston now trailing 5-4 and Raisel Iglesias coming on to try and close it out for LA. Iglesias retired the side in the 9th to finish off a 5-4 come from behind victory for Los Angeles and the Angels complete the 3 game sweep of the Red Sox
* The Red Sox get swept by the Angels and fall to 53-35 and their lead over the Yankees for 1st place in the AL East is down to 6.5 games while the Angels move to 46-42 and have taken a 1.0 game lead over the Astros for 1st place in the AL West
* Garrett Richards pitched well before a rough start to the bottom of the 7th led to his exit and the bullpen could not hold on. Richards finished with 6 innings allowing 3 runs on 5 hits with 1 walk & 2 Ks
* Jaime Barria made his first start of the season for LA after being called up from AAA Salt Lake and allowed 3 runs on 2 hits in 5 innings with 4 walks & 4 Ks
* The Angels were led by Jared Walsh who was 1 for 3 with a double & 2 RBI and Justin Upton who went 2 for 4 with a double, HR & 2 RBI
* The Red Sox were led by Rafael Devers who hit his team leading 24th HR and knocked in 2 RBI and Xander Bogaerts who leads the AL in hitting with a .337 average and went 2 for 4 with a double, triple and 1 RBI
* The Red Sox will have an off day as they travel back from the west coast after getting swept by the Angels and will return home for one last series before the All-Star break as the Philadelphia Phillies come to Fenway Park for a 3 game inter-league series. Philadelphia is currently in 3rd place in the NL East with a 43-43 record on the season. Boston will send Nick Pivetta to the mound in the opener while Philadelphia counters with Zack Wheeler
