Red Sox Bullpen Topping Numerous American League Pitching Categories

The Red Sox’s bullpen had a rough night in Tuesday’s loss to the Cleveland Indians. But prior to that outing, Boston’s relievers were posting some of the best numbers in baseball.

Entering Tuesday night’s game, Boston’s bullpen was amongst the American League’s top-five in ERA, strikeouts per nine innings pitched, WHIP, opponent’s OBP and strikeout-to-walk ratio. So, if you block out the rare meltdown that occurred on Tuesday at Fenway Park, the Sox bullpen is actually in pretty good shape.
