In a recurring 2015 theme, the Red Sox bullpen gave away
another win—yielding a tie-breaking run in the seventh inning in
a 5-4 loss at Flushing Meadows.
Jackie Bradley, Jr. (RBI double) and
Mookie Betts (RBI triple) had tied the score at four—before the 'pen let the game slip away.
David Ortiz clouted his 494th career HR—allowing him to pass
Lou Gehrig and
Fred McGriff on the all-time list. Quick-working lefty
Wade Miley pitched
sort of OK again—going six innings and giving up four earned runs. The loss robbed the Sox of their first road sweep of the season. Boston returns home for a three-game "spoiler set" against
The Bronx Embalmers.
