Who Will Be This Week’s Amica Pitcher of the Week?
Even amid the magic of Fenway's 100th anniversary, the staff lost its touch and seems no closer to finding it.
After Daniel Bard took a loss to the Rays in the final game of that series, Jon Lester and Josh Beckett both took drubbings from the Texas Rangers' bats, losing 18-3 and 6-3, respectively.
Against the Yankees, it didn't get much better. New York put up a 6-2 win over Clay Buchholz in the 100th anniversary game, and the Yankees followed it up with an even stronger 15-9 win on Saturday. The latter loss came when Vicente Padilla and Alfredo Aceves were each tagged for five runs in back-to-back seven-run innings.
All of the agony unfortunately came after Felix Doubront pitched six solid innings, holding the Yankees to just one run and leaving with a 9-1 Boston lead.
The Yankee comeback marked arguably the lowest point of the season for the Red Sox, and in a spring full of lows, that's saying something.
In a week with plenty of disappointment, who do you think deserves to be the Amica Pitcher of the Week?
