The Boston Red Sox fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 9-2 in the opening game of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox’s collective pitching performance was less-than-stellar in Game 1, kickstarted by an underwhelming start from Josh Smith.
During his postgame press conference, manager Alex Cora noted that it’s definitely been a challenge making do without Brian Johnson and Hector Velazquez, two of the Red Sox’s most versatile arms.
