The Boston Red Sox bullpen blew a 6-1 lead against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park on Saturday, and manager Alex Cora wasn’t too happy with the performance from his relievers.
Brian Johnson started the game for Boston and allowed one unearned run while striking out four through five innings. Meanwhile, the combination of Mike Shawaryn, Marcus Walden and Matt Barnes allowed seven runs in the 8-7 loss. Ryan Brasier walked in two of the runs charged to Barnes on back-to-back bases-loaded walks.
But with guys like Hector Velazquez and Heath Hembree coming back from injury at some point, Cora believes the Red Sox can solve their pitching woes internally.
