The first five innings of Rick Porcello’s outing Saturday evening against the Detroit Tigers went smoothly. But the righty ran into some trouble in the sixth, eventually giving up five of the 10 runs allowed by the Boston Red Sox in the game.
Porcello knows he has to do better in similar situations in the future.
“Definitely looking to go deeper, at least go seven,” he said after the game, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “… It’s pretty frustrating on my end. I’ve got to be better from start to finish.”
